Aveah Dove's Fourth Birthday Party!

Waiting for friends to arrive and drinking CapriSun (a treat!).

Daddy and Mila arrive!

Going down to the beach to see if Ariel arrived!

 Thanks, Photographer/Daddy Michael.

All the kids wanted to see Ariel jump into the water and swim away, but I insisted she wanted to stay on land for a while and get a sun tan!

Hand made by Pacha: Fort Kit!

Avi's favorite gift?  "Flooda" a black poodle purse from Gigi. My favorite gift?  The handmade creative "Fort Kit" from Pacha!

Her last night as a 3 year old!

Her real birthday - she got a cupcake with 4 candles, and a private V.I.P. party with the 4 of us at home!

On her actual birthday, she went to yoga camp in the morning, then swimming class afterwards - ah, the life!

The 12:02pm kiss - exactly 4 years after Avi was born she was doing swim lessons.  So we captured our embrace underwater this year!  I love you, Aveah Dove!

When she woke up this large gift was in her room - a changing table, bed and eating station for her babies. She loved it!

Spaghetti Chef Mila

Mila's one-year-old photo shoot.  I saw this somewhere, and thought What  a fun tactile experience! So, I wanted to do it with Mila before she started walking.  It turned out to be about 2 days before her first birthday.  Thanks, Sitti for all your help while I got the lighting set up!

The funny thing was, that Mila didn't "play" with the noodles as much as she ate them - I think it was a little overwhelming... Hee hee!
