MAZ first birthday celebration




















These are some of last night's pictures for the grandparents. Adam mentioned a craving for Greek food, so Honeydo and I made lots of yummy Athenian-style foods for Matea's birthday dinner. Lamb on the grill, pitas, chopped olives and feta, dolmas, tzatziki, grapes, and a big salad. Oh, it was good. And it turns out that Matea shares her Daddy's love for Greek food.



Matea is showing us, "one!"



And of course, she enjoyed her cake. We tried a new recipe (deviating from our standard oh-so-good carrot cake that we've made for each of the boys' first birthdays). The cake was made from millet, spelt and egg whites, and the orange frosting was from sweet potatoes and grade B maple syrup. The guys got a laugh out of it, but everyone ate seconds! It was delicious.




I have to include this video that was shot toward the end of the night. It reminds me so much of how things change between the first child and the fourth child. Please don't watch if you're a germiphobe - this will gross you out.
