On Friday October 1st. we celebrated Virgil's first Birthday. It was a beautiful hot fall day. We decided it would be nice to have a big BBQ bash.
Janessa's motherly instinct kicks in as she feeds Virgil his dinner.
It was so nice that Nadia and Andrej could join us on their way back up to the Yukon.
A Father, Son moment!
Virgil's cake, "The little blue train" took 8 hours total to make. It was alot of fun to put together. though Staying up into the wee hours of the night isn't such a smart idea when you have to wake up with the kids and throw a party.
That sweet little smile was worth all of it!
Serving up dessert.
Juliette polished off her cake and went to Gramma for seconds. Smart girl!
Friends and family gathered around for the BBQ.
We took a moment to gather for a family picture while Virgil enjoyed his first taste of chocolate cake.
We moved inside to open gifts when it started cooling off outside. Virgil had help from the other kids to open his presents. He was more interested in the packaging.
We wanted to buy Virgil a bentwood box like the one Juliette got for her first Birthday. This one has two salmon on it. It was made by Grandpa Wayne's Uncle, Joe Campbell. We really lucked out with this beautifully made keepsake box.
Virgil's first coupe!, He loves it. He was spoiled with many other gifts including; money, His car seat, clothes and more.
