Ewan’s First Birthday Party

Ewan celebrated his first birthday this weekend. We threw him a Beatles birthday at Aldo’s (the restaurant owned by Lilly’s parents, aka Vovó and Vovô). It was a smallish affair since space was limited, but it was great to be surrounded by close family and friends and Beatles paraphernalia. I might have gone a little overboard with the Beatles theme, but nothing is too much for my beautiful (big) boy!

Stay tuned for the sentimental, mushy post for Ewan’s actual birthday on Thursday. Until then…

Here are the photos from the party (the ones we have so far).

And of course the obligatory cake video. It is over 5 minutes in length which can seem long when you’re just waiting for something to happen. Here are some key moments if you want to skip ahead:

0:54- we start singing “happy birthday.”

2:31- I remember to put on “Birthday” by The Beatles and Ewan rocks out.

4:18- Ewan finally gets a big piece of cake in and is so proud of himself!
