Well, we finally officially celebrated Madison's first Birthday this weekend (the whole house was sick last week). Saturday we did some shopping for some birthday presents and had lunch at a local brasserie. At lunch Madison enjoyed Confit de Canard (duck), a sauteed crepe with cheese and, of course, creme brulee.
For birthday dinner this evening, I made cavatelli with broccoli and chicken (which Madison devoured!). For "birthday cake" Madison dug into the best cheesecake we have ever eaten. (Frenchies don't do the whole bday/icing cake thing). She was a little afraid of the candle (or it could have been that she was way up past bedtime) but she quickly got over it and dug in with both hands.
We can't wait to see everyone in about 2 weeks and continue the celebrations!
