It was hard to top the early half of the birth day, but the day was only just begun. There were more gifts, food, gifts and food.
Our aspiring artist got some more tools for his trade,
a pendant with his initial,
The Daddy brought this fancy shmancy singing and spinning candle all the way across the ocean for the boy,
He also got a very nice watch, which he leaves on France time,
hugs and kisses all around...
Earlier this year Mamie requested a recent snapshot of Nicco. One that really showed his cute little face. I had to send about 100 pictures to get one that met the proper requirements and they settled on one of my favorites from a couple or three years ago...an artist friend of my in-laws drew his portrait in pencil. Looks just like him!
For Nicco's future wine cellar...
And the dear crème caramel. Mamie sacrificed and suffered much for this dessert, having burned her poor little hand in the boiling caramel.
Now all three of us have celebrated recent birthdays in France! I think we should make it a tradition to celebrate a birthday on foreign soil. In just a few years, we might even catch up with my dad!
