Natalia's 4th bday

Natalka requested a trip to the zoo for her bday, and we were happy to accommodate with an adventure rather than stuff.  We were also happy to resist a kids' birthday party for another year.  ;)

 
I discovered a new species of bird! Natalka!
We were joined by Tia Yoli and 
... prima Jade :)

not sure who's more pensive
"Let me show you how it's done"



4 cheers for a super outing!
Ice cream bday cake, per request
Goodnight my little preschooler! Sto lat kochanie!

Antonio's First Birthday


Antonio's First Birthday Party was at the same location as his sister's, Old Country Buffet in Woodbridge, VA, on Saturday, November 11th.  A special treat was Abuela coming home with us from the party for a week :)

About to blow out his candle

Antonio with parents, sister, and godparents.

In this video we hear the birthday song in Polish first, and about halfway the English starts :)

Some candids of the guests. There were 18 of us celebrating Antonio's first bday.  Plus a couple of the employees ;)
bahahaha, something to remember - daddy dropping a big piece of bday cake! lol

Antonio's actual birthday was two days earlier.  He received the same present as his sister - an anatomically correct baby doll from Germany that drinks and pees on his own little potty.  He took to his new role as daddy quite easily - like father like son :)


Na roczek, wybral kieliszek!

The video here shows Antonio choosing a little glass over a little book and cash money.  The Polish tradition says what a child chooses on their first birthday indicates something about their future.  I think this means that he'll be the life of the party! :)

 Happy first birthday to my little darling Antonio!  We are so glad you are here with us!
