Happy Birthday, Gita Pi Luca !

Today we celebrate the 6th anniversary of Gita's birth ! She came into this word at sunrise on October 20, 2004 ~ and this morning, 6 years later, she stayed true to form, waking us up at 6:45am to begin opening presents. Sleepy eyed, we crawled out of bed to watch her delight in all the lovely gifts sent from our long-distance families (thanks, everyone!). Gita's kindergarten class planned a field trip to a local farm today which was a perfect way to celebrate a birthday ! We enjoyed the foggy drizzley drive to the farm ~ especially all of the amazing autumn leaves. The day was chock full of friends and rope swings, animal visits and apple picking, corn mazes and group songs. After a quick girls-only lunch date and a swing by the grocery store, we came home to the Carmona boys for some games, pasta, and finally, brownies and ice cream.

Happy Birthday, Gita ~(doesn;t she kinda look like a girl version of Mowgli from Disney's JungleBook?)
