Birthday Pictures and Video

We had a wonderful second birthday party!  We thoroughly enjoyed seeing everyone, and I was happily surprised by the number of people who came to celebrate with us.  Very special was meeting Phil and Cindy's sweet Mia, who was less than a month old.  In fact, at one point the under-four crowd in the living room included Mia, Maia and Malia!  It was a blast, too, having my sister Deborah, my brother-in-law Sepp, my niece Siobhan and nephew Liam with us.  They've just moved to Ontario from Alberta, and will be moving into their new house in Petawawa at the beginning of November.  The party also served as a Leighton/Irving family reunion, with a whole bunch of cousins in the kitchen and Aunt Pinie bustling around helping everything run smoothly.   We had so much fun.

I took a quick picture of the table before mayhem ensued...

Later that evening, Colin, Keith and Evelyn had a chance to delve into their cupcakes.  Keith almost had a meltdown in anticipation of his, and at the very end of the video, you'll catch Evelyn's honest opinion of hers... and Colin, well, it wasn't meat.  So he was less than interested!

Here they are rocking their brand new birthday slippers!

And what did they get as a present from Edward and I?  Stay tuned for the monster post that tells all!  It only took me from, oh, February to hours before their party to finish their gift...
