Here are a few snapshots from Ciara's birthday party on December 7th, 2003 (not her actual birthday), and our family gift opening on her actual birthday 3 days after Christmas.

The children's party theme was a pocket-book, so the cake was made as a pocket-book as were the give-away's for the kids to take home.  Ciara said that Mummy's pocket-book cake was "way better than Martha Stewart"!
