Can You Keep a Secret?

Carmine went to the vet yesterday.  I promise I will give you all a complete update either later today or very early tomorrow.  Please continue to purr and pray for my little baby boy.  He still needs it.  Thank you, everyone for your continued support; it means so much!

I have some other news I'd like to share with you all, but you have to promise to keep it a secret from Carmine, Milita, and Jewel, okay? ;)

We are going to have a BIRTHDAY PARTY for all three babies on July 22!!  Carmine turned 7 years old on February 19 (and of course he got presents then!).  Jewel turned 14 years old in June.  And Milita turns 9 years old this month (the vet can't pinpoint her date of birth, but we know she was born in July).  Since Jewel and Milita have birthdays in the summer, we decided to have a party for all three kitties in the summer. :)

We have invited some of the kitties' human friends to come visit and celebrate with us.  I've been told that the family living downstairs will be out on the 22nd, so hopefully the babies will come out and socialize some :)

Here are some pictures of various party things I've gotten so far:

These are the party invitations - soooo cute!

Here are some plates, cups, napkins, and silverware for the party :)  I know Carmine's a boy, but he actually likes pink, so I don't think he'll mind.

I would like some suggestions, though on party favors.  I would love for them to be cat-something, but I'm not sure what.  If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!

I decided to get the babies a second cube.  Carmine uses his pink one a LOT and I know Jewel and Milita like cubes, too, so hopefully all the babies will be able to enjoy this present a lot :)
