A Trio of Birthdays

We went to my Mum's place yesterday in Montreal to have a birthday celebration.  Who's birthday?  Well, there were a few.  Firstly, mine was November 9th.  Then my brother-in-law is today, November 19th.  And then Abby will be one tomorrow, on the 20th.  So there were three of us opening gifts there yesterday, which made it a pretty good day.

On top of the gifts I got on my birthday on the 9th, I got new pjs, a couple of books to read, and some bath smellies.  Abby got lots of new clothes (you can always count on my Mum for that!), toys, books and even furniture for her Princess-themed room.

My stepfather made Abby a big wooden toybox, just like the one he did for Jake.  It even has a plaque on the front that says "Abby's Toy Box".  As always, he's done a fabulous job!

I got to see my niece, Kailyn, again, which was really nice and definitely overdue as I haven't seen her since she was a few days old.  She's now 2 months old!  She's growing into a darling little thing with deep, dark eyes.  She seems alert and even shared a few precious smiles with her Auntie Nicola, who was pulling all kinds of faces at her just to get her to crack a grin.  My hard work paid off in the end, I'm pleased to say.

Here are a few piccies from the fete...
