We started celebrating Crusoe's birthday a week ago, when Gran was here, with birthday blueberry scones.
He was a little nervous about Gran lighting the match.
(two wooden matches for candles)
Today he helped to mix the batter for his carrot cake.
Then lick the spatula, of course.
Reading with Hank and Mitch
I love hearing the Happy Birthday song sung to me: "Again! Again!"
Opening presents
Mardi Gras beads from Uncle Mitch
Putting on a puppet show. They both started the show, then Finn said, "I want to watch it," and she came around the stage to sit in the audience, so I joined Crusoe in putting on the show. Then Crusoe said, "Want watch it" and HE joined the audience, leaving me all alone to put on the show.
Finn offers to brush Nana's hair after she does her own.
The fire made him nervous again.
But he loved the singing.

Birthday music
Pretend nap
Finn carried all 4 dining room table legs back down the basement by herself. She's so helpful.
then she made birthday popcorn!
Talking to Yia-yia & Pop on the phone
Next best thing to being there is enjoying these photos with commentary. Thanks and love from Gran
