Year 2
This is it: Orly has now completed two whole years of life! Today was the birthday party; we combined a few classics — balloons, games, cake — with a few new experiences.
First, some friends:
Then a game of television inspiration: DORA (yes, Dora!) called us to warn that Swipper the Fox had swipped the birthday balloons!! The kids, with some help from Backpack, had to go on an adventure to find the missing balloons.
They started by asking the Map for directions, then Backpack gave them some horns to go into the musical tunnel (made of sheets around our bed, hehe):
Then, a stop by the lake, to do some fishing:
Finally, Backpack gave out flashlights to the kiddos, who said “Open” to enter the dark bedroom:
The balloons were found!
Add in some games…
Some cries… (see Xavier, ouch!)
Cake…
…and there you have it, Orléane is all partied up! Congratulations, my big girlie!
PS. Here’s a last one we took during the week, on her anniversary day:
Lake George
Vue à partir du resto du musée / View from the museum's cafe.
À la course / Running, running
Orléane is now... 
Xavier is now...
Two already, hey? That time really does fly… faster with each year, it seems.
Now we’re planning the 4th birthday party for our youngest, and also wondering where the heck the years are going.
Ack! Your baby is FOUR?
I guess you can take comfort in the fact that, into a 4 year cycle, you get an extra day to enjoy with your kid. It’s like a bonus of… wait, my Windows calculator won’t give me the correct percentage — too tiny number.
The extra day of a leap year is a bonus of 0.000684931507% on a 4 year cycle.
(Thanks to Google.)
Comme çà dû être une fête magnifique…
