Meri and I took the afternoon off of work for Max's birthday. The plan was simple. Make a quick stop at FAO Schwarz, go out for hamburgers or pizza, then get a cupcake at Magnolia for a final birthday wish. Our plans were quickly shattered. If you click on the picture on the left, you'll see that the damn store closed early on Feb 2 for inventory. Of all days! So, we had to settle with the crappy Disney store on 5th Avenue. That place is waste of time, don't go there...

Even though it's a waste, we did get one good picture of Max at the Disney store. We didn't buy anything, but we did take a couple of pictures, including a couple with Max wearing Mickey Mouse ears. Other than that, this store offered us nothing. Booooo!

After we went to O'Neals for a hamburger, we came home and set up the tripod for a couple of family pictures. I've learned that you get better results from the self-timer and your three-legged friend compared to relatives. I hope no one takes any offsense at this. But any jury would take my side with this one -- I swear. This picture was the best one we got of Max, even though I look like I belong in one of those after school specials featuring the "slow" kid from down the block.

And finally, we have a picture of Max blowing out candles on his fourth 1st birthday wish!
The look on his face when he realized that he couldn't get into his favorite toy store is PRICELESS!
ReplyDeleteI am glad that he had such a memorable birthday. The cake was stupendous!
I enjoy looking at his "stats" each month, as I am comparing Nicky's info to Max's so we know what to expect...
Enjoy him, it all goes so fast...
