Happy Birthday Elliott!

Quantcast Quantcast

Picture 067 Elliott turned three on April 2. It was a nice celebration for the occasion. Let me tell you a funny anecdote about his birthday. During the last weeks of my pregnancy, I prepared a lot of business for Bastien's arrival. Each time, Elliott asked me who was all things and each time I answered: "To Bastien." One day qu'Elliott me about his birthday, he looked at me with his chocolate eyes and said: "For my birthday, EVERYTHING will be for me, huh?!". I think he wanted me he was out of question that he shares his birthday with gifts and his brother. I quickly reassured by saying that EVERYTHING would be for him. He had the air of satisfaction ;)

Picture 058 The advantage of living in Minnesota is that we have snow from late November to late March (sometimes even up to late April). "What is an advantage?" You say ... because we can go skiing or tobogganing when you want! And believe me, Elliott loves it!

Get it ... Mount, it's harder!
