Happy 1st Birthday – Zachary

This past weekend was Zachary’s 1st Birthday Party. His actual birth date is November 10th; which is the same date as my Mother’s birth date, she passed away in 1972 – “The Circle of Life”.

Saturday morning we picked up GGPa and GGMa and headed to Kelowna. Even though it was very windy it was a nice drive down, however there was snow on the hillsides all around.

All Zach’s grandparents and family were there, so along with local friends of Jeff and Lindsay it was a very busy house. We think the total was around 25 people. Little Zachary looked a little overwhelmed at times, but as always he was a trooper and hung in as long as he could before needing a nap.

Jeff and Lindsay organized a buffet lunch for all the guests. Afterwards, presents were opened; with help from Sage and Conrad.

Happy Birthday was sung and then Cake was served. Zachary loved the cake and kept shoveling it in his mouth.

The formal birthday party wrapped up around 4 p.m. and then it was just family around; some stayed for dinner and others headed off to their hotel rooms for the night.

Early in the evening after a family dinner we headed off to our hotel with GGPa and GGMa. We wanted to be rested up for a busy morning of visiting before heading home on Sunday afternoon.

Family that was there included Bob & Susan (Lindsay Dad & Step-Mom), Jackie and Doug (Lindsay’s Mom and Step-Dad), Rhianna and Ava (Lindsay’s Sister and Niece), Kevin, Tamara, Sage and Conrad, GGPa and GGMa and of course Brenda and I.
