countdown to my birthday

As you know, we met my sister and Hector for brunch at Jack Allen's. It is a new restaurant where the food is all (mostly) locally grown. Everyone said the food was so yummy. I even braved up and tried several bites of cinnamon croissant. Mostly, I tried it to show off for my sister.

Then we went to the supermarket. My mom wanted to buy lavender ice cream to taste if it would be suitable for my birthday party. The verdict: way yummy (so say my parents) but too weird for the masses. I don't even know what kind of cake we will serve yet.

When we got home, Luka brought over some leftovers from his party - including a piece of angel food cake. He also gave me his extra "happy first birthday" napkins. I have a lot of work to do to get ready for my party. My dad mowed the yard today. The menu is almost set.

We have lots of playing to do too. My great-grandmother played with me a lot and we also danced. She makes noises that are fun to mimic. Fun times!
