Phinn's 1st Birthday

The family all came together

to celebrate

Phoenix's

1st Birthday

in May.

We had a simple dinner of

lasagna, garlic bread and salad.

It was so good to see

uncles and aunts

from near and far

on this special day. He was fascinated by the balloons.

(and a little overwhelmed by all the company

thus the serious face)

Lily, on the other hand,

fell in love with Great-uncle Richard

and stayed by his side the whole time!

Cake, schmake...everyone else thought it was great!


He was happy to feed cake to Mommy however.

He knew JUST what to do with a toy truck!
Many thanks to Great-Uncle Phil who provided Phinn
with his first gender-NOT-neutral gift! :o)
It was a hit!

Can't believe my baby is a year old!
So happy he is part of our family.
