Tutus Love Sneakers

A (Double) Celebration of Life

     April 8th was Easter Sunday and my daughter Ysabella's 7th birthday. Jesus Christ had risen and Ysabella turned 7! So I call it "A Double Celebration of Life", which gives me and my family all the more reason to be grateful. To me it was such a blessing to celebrate my daughter's birthday on Easter. There was a more festive spirit, more energy and fun! We started out that day with an early morning mass and before I knew it, we were at the party singing Happy Birthday to little Ysabella.

     We had a big turnout at the party, considering it was Easter Sunday. So to those who came... a big hug, and many, many thanks!
     The kids had a blast at the party, thanks to Dave of LiveItUpNJ who provided the entertainment, games, balloon sculpting, and face painting.

     It was such a beautiful day...fun, crazy, and definitely worth celebrating. Ysabella was more than happy, and that's what mattered most. For in our hearts, that little birthday girl in her tutu and sneakers is the best Easter Blessing we could ever have.
