I can see little Miguel accompanied his parents. Does anybody know if his brothers and cousins were there as well?

I noticed that Sofia, Anne Marie and Alexia were wearing little blue ribbons with bos on their jacket collars. What is the significance of these ribbons? Are they something for baby Carlos? Or something representing a social cause?

The symbol "Against the violence towards the women" is similar and yesterday was the international day of that but I am not sure.

If that is the case, I believe it's a nice gesture of them.

The blue bows were also worn at Constantine-Alexios' baptism, so I doubt it has to do with any opposition to violence against women. Blue and white are the Greek colours, so I think that's why the ribbons are worn.

yes, i noticed the little blue ribbon as well...
it would be great if it's a symbol for "against violence on women" but even if it's not, i think it's cute they wore little symbol as a family

Little Anna Maria & Arrieta looks so cute...
children of Pavlos & Marie-Chantal seem to have same cuteness and gorgeous factor like children of Cristina & Inaki...

Princess Alexia looks BEAUTIFUL! I love her hair!!!

Anyway, everyone else looks very nice too. I'm glad it was such a nice and big family event.

Not to be rude, but is it just me, or is Princess Theodora getting a bit chubby? The first pictures of her on this thread are her in regular clothes and she looks like she's been doing the same thing as most American college students - EATING! :) I don't think I'm too out of place in saying this, since I too am an American college student with poor eating habits. Hopefully it's just a phase for her though - such a pretty young lady.

little Carlos look angelic on the 4th pic...
i see auntie Elena taking care of Miguel also... that's so cute.
yeah, Theodora is gaining weight, but i guess if she wants to, she can easily lose some weight, she looks great on Felipe & Letizia's wedding last year.

is this aunt Marie-Chantal holding little carlos?
