four : part two

What a perfect Birthday Weekend. Birthday's past have been a little stressed. Too much focus on the party, the food, the guests, and in the midst of the madness I wondered, where is Xavier?
He would be off by himself not enjoying the party, the food, or the guests.
So, this year was different. We all needed something low-key, Chris and I needed something low-cost. Just being together was all that mattered. It truly was a wonderful weekend.
Our friends came over on Saturday for dinner and the big hit of the evening was Dirt Cake!! It took the boys a little convincing that they were not actually eating real mud and dirt. Once they got over that, man did they dig in!

Thanks Grandma Jan and Grandpa Alan!

Birthday Altar. A tradition.

Soleil with her pup, DEE,DEE!




We went to the Aviary with Grandma Melanie and Grandpa John.


The best part.....opening presents.

Bug Vacuum was a favorite gift.

Up close and personal with the peacock.

No wonder I can see so many of his teeth.
How long did it take him to eat them all?

That is the beloved mud cake.
Those are gummy worms, actually.
It only lasted that evening, and the next moning's breakfast, of course :)
