Bonne fête Xavier

Last Saturday was Xavier’s first birthday party. We did a burger lunch party in the yard with family and friends. It rained!! but we did ok with a couple shelters, and luckily the rain only started after lunch.

We didn’t take many pictures ourselves, but happily grandma Lucie shot over 200, so I drew from her reserve to put together our online album of the day – a little shorter, but still including 60 pictures. Since I added comments to the pictures relating the day, I won’t repeat myself here, but I invite you to have a look at the album. I especially recommend the funny cake pictures.

I leave you with my favourite :

For all of Lucie’s 209 pictures, you can go here.

Little (narcissic?) note from myself: my eyes got irritated a lot on Thursday, so much so that, to my great regret, I had to spend the week (including the party) without my beloved contact lenses, with my old glasses in the face. *sigh* Now that’s said.

    I’m glad you didn’t put a picture up here with you wearing your glasses. Because I would have totally mocked you. Narcissa!!

    One? Already? Why, when I saw him in November he was only, like, four months old! How time flies…

    PS — that is exactly the same cake Dex had for his third birthday party in May. The video I put up on my own site a couple days ago? The Lightning McQueen that makes a guest appearance in there was that same cake topper.

    Wow! A year. Time files. Happy Birthday to little XG.

    That cake topper is pretty popular with Xavier right now. Much more than the fake stuffed toy version Frank got him at the town fair a couple weeks back. Not so enthused about that – the tires come off – but we did pick up this cake because Xavier enjoys everything to do with wheels and rotating stuff.

    On account of Xavier, thanks for the various birthday well wishes.

    I’m sorry it rained Emile, but it certainly looks like you had a great time. Wish Xavier a happy birthday for me!
