his first first birthday party
Happy Birthday dear Harvey...
On Saturday, the day before Harvey's actual birthday, we celebrated with a brunch for the families: two grandpas, one grandma (the other was out of the country), one aunt, and two great-grandmas! And two proud parents, of course. No cake before noon, but Harvey very much enjoyed his birthday banana-chocolate-chip muffin.
After we ate we took some time to frolic in the wonderful almost-summer weather. Harvey loves playing with his grandpa.
whee!
He was also very excited to open his presents, and not only because of all the new toys: he's always happy to be the center of attention!
He'll appreciate the big-ticket items from his grandparents—the pool pictured in the video and a sandbox to be assembled later—in good time, but for immediate delight nothing could top the duck with authentic quacking action from tonton Thomas and tante Nelly.
