For some reason birthdays and holidays never seem to go as planned in our family. And for some reason, both my boys were sick with high fevers on their first birthday's. So while trying to sooth a sick, lethargic little boy, we were also trying to sing to him, make him eat a cupcake and open presents. What mean parents! Why do we do this to our poor children!?
One highlight of our weekend was getting to spend time with my niece, Lucy! Lucy's parents went on a trip to Japan and left Lucy with my parents in Seattle. She is such a funny, sweet, adorable little girl. I kept sneaking into her room just so I could look at all her little girl clothes.
Max received many fun presents, but there is one in particular that is worth bragging about. My sister, Jul (Lucy's mom) made this. (See more pics on her blog.) She wrote an adorable little story titled, "The Totally Awesome Sandwich", she designed the fabric, and when it arrived she sewed the book together and embellished the pages with fun textures. My boys love it! If you're interested, she's selling them on etsy. What an "Awesome" present! Thanks sis!
