This was a big weekend in our household. Vika turned one. It was a wonderful gift that Ami and Papa could be here to celebrate with us. We started out earlier in the day opening a couple of the big gifts at home. The celebration continued with a small party at our favourite pizza place. I think it was one of the loudest renditions of "Happy Birthday" I've ever heard. Dominic (the pizza chef) say at full volume all the way from the pizza oven. acroos the restaurant. In fear of Vika ruining her dress with the butterfly cake I made I took it off (and it was way too hot for that dress anyway!). Then she proceeded to eat in such a perfectly dainty and girly girl way she hardly dropped a crumb! It was almost a disappointment to see a one year old have the perfect mess opportunity and not take full advantage of it!
The next day, Vika's actual birthday, was spent seeing Ami and Papa off at the airport and joining friend at Carney Park (the US Navy Recreation Site near Naples). We spent 5 hours in the pool there! We ended a wonderful weekend with a lazy dinner with friends before heading home - sun kissed and very happy. A perfect way to spend a first birthday!
