A Shanah Tovah Birthday

Grammy Fran says I should just put up the recent pictures, but what's the point of taking pictures if we don't put them up, even on the late side? Think of it this way, family: The more old pictures we put up, the more updates we'll have!

As we mentioned in the last page, Ari's first birthday landed on Erev Rosh Hashanah. On the night of Rosh Hashanah, we followed our five-year tradition and went to dinner at the Summit, hosted by Grand-Nan. Ari was happy to spend time with her Aunt Julie and Uncle Chris, as you can see.

Nanny and Grandpa were there too, of course.

Dinner is served...but first, Ari and Aunt Julie practice their "cool" gestures.

Food, food, gimme food!

After dinner, Uncle Chris helps Ari practice her drumming moves.

Because it was the day after Ari's birthday, Grand-Nan, at left, ordered a cake for Ari.

 

 

Ari and Nanny gaze admiringly at the cake...

...before Mom helps her blow out her candle.

 

 Aunt Julie is amused watching Ari devour her dessert.

 Cake? Ice cream? Bring it on!
