The Boy Turns 11

March 5, 2012

Laurent's birthday this year (last weekend, right before the kids got sick) was fairly low-key.

Part of that is being new to a place so there isn't a long list of friends to invite.

Part of it is that Laurent is just a really easy going guy and generally easy to please. I should say his baby year was a nightmare - colic all over the place - but since that time he has been a joy to raise.

The boy loves to ski - the more downhill the better. And what he wanted for his birthday was that thrill. As well as a lesson from our friend M-H (imagine a lovely, feminine, rolling off your tongue, French name here).

Waffles for breakfast and a few presents to open. Salad with store bought dresssing for lunch (store bought dressing was specifically requested, as it is a rare occurrence). An afternoon ski lesson. Homemade veggie pizza, cake and a family movie.
