The birthday fun continues. Here are guests of honor "Sunny"...

...and Zadok.

Gifts were not necessarily opened by their intended recipients.

Both Birthday Babies agreed that bananas are better than birthday cakes any day.

Zadok wasn't sure about the whole birthday thing, but he was willing to give it a try--once. And then birthdays just kept happening. Poor little guy.

Because of Ramadan starting tomorrow, most of our friends wouldn't be able to make it on the real day, so we celebrated Zadok's first birthday early, yesterday on the 16th. And then again today...and if all goes as planned, we'll probably be able to wring at least one more party out of it.

I colored Zadok's birthday cake blue, because after all you only get to be a little one year old boy once. I'll get in my blue cakes while I can. He was intrigued by the process, but refused to eat even a crumb of it once it was baked.

Decorations were complete with a beautiful flower arrangement by our house guest, Judy, featuring the paper butterflies that had previously been on Zadok's baby mobile.

Thanks to Margaret, the strike is over...or rather, to Mom Lightner, since I failed to specify exactly which pictures I wanted, she did her bit by sending some of little niece Lunaria, and technically that counted.

But thanks for posting pictures of the memorial service and funeral, Margaret. We really appreciate that.
