Happy Birthday Vivian

We had such a great birthday party for Vivian on September 25 at Back Forty (great, fun restaurant in the East Village).
We got a fabulous, big table in the garden and the weather was perfect.
Guests were me, Dad, Stella, Grandma, Grandpa, Grandma Roz, Sonya, Clara and Sonya's friend Lisanne.
Menu was decadent brunch food including donuts, watermelon salad, fried chicken and waffles, white bean ragout with soft scrambled eggs, bacon, sweet corn pancakes and cupcakes with Vivan's picture on them.
On the invitation, I wrote
Please come celebrate our fabulous
Vivian Jane
on the occasion of her first birthday!
She might even take a couple steps for you.
And lo and behold, she DID take lots of steps that day, her first real walking.
Born on her due date.
First confident steps at her birthday party.
This kid is right on schedule and perfect in every way!
