So last weekend we went to Eugene to celebrate Tia LaLa's birthday. Her birthday was Wednesday, January 2nd...and Nona brought all her favorites to celebrate with a belated dinner (manicotti and leg of lamb). LaLa saved some toys from when Tegan & Cielle were little, so there was stuff for Mateo to enjoy. Featured here is a "snow-filled" cow placement.
You can barely tell from this picture, but Mateo is sitting on a little chair that was sitting on a big chair. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!
LaLa found this scarf for her outfit when we were shopping at Zona, a local boutique in Eugene that makes all the clothes by hand that they sell. She was so excited to find this dyed cut velvet scarf...and to have an excuse to get it for herself! She bought me two cut velvet blouses...very classy looking!
Most importantly, Nona made an Italian Rum cake for LaLa...her favorite and a once a year tradition for all. It is a divine layered treat that has Rum, pistachio filling, chocolate filling, and other nummy stuff.
Mateo came in just after this shot to help LaLa blow the candles out.
There are many birthdays in the first few days of the year. Marnie's (bookclub) is on the 1st, Pamela's (aka LaLa) on the 2nd, Patty's on the 3rd (bookclub), Mark (Matt's brother) on the 4th, and Rachel (Sarah's sister) on the 5th. The new year is always a week of celebration for us. We count ourselves blessed to have such good relationships with friends and family to celebrate!
