P and girlfriend unwrap presents
Brunching
Dateline Normandy -- While P officially hit the Big 2 a couple of weeks ago, plans for his first party were put on hold until last weekend and the little one didn't seem to hold any grudges. In fact, P was in form, playing heartily with the other invited tykes all day long and gorging himself on kiddie pizza as all the tiny crew sported party favors. As the kids romped throughout Chateau Blanc, the T's offered up a brunch a l'Americain for the grown-ups that started with mimosas and bloody mary's around the fireplace and then on to the main course of egg casserole, pancakes and, bien sur, grits, (flown in for the occasion from the deep south of the U.S.) which were a massive hit among the French guests. While the T's were unable to really explain what a `grit' is, even in English, the large pot of white hominy disappeared in no time. Later, a weary P blew out the candles on the cakes and after the invited crew had all left, Big No. 2 wasted no time in hitting the hay - he was one pooped P. That left the worn-out T's to begin the massive cleanup while happily contemplating what may be in store for Year 3. A suivre! ~30~

Well, Stephen, you made us feel like we were "almost" present for the stunning second birthday party for The Handsome Perry! What a beautiful gathering; beautiful guests, beautiful cakes, beautiful brunch, beautiful parents, etc., etc., etc. Accolades for all. Thanks for the detailed party celebration. Just think, if it were not for you, we would have no idea of your life. Thanks again.
