This weekend I partied like it was 1999!

Wow. I am pooped. And not just because I just pooped — I had a non-stop, fun-filled birthday weekend that involved lots of family, lots of friends, lots of gifts and as I overheard my Dads saying "lots of money."


It all started Friday night when Muga and Papsi (Linda and John) brought over cupcakes to celebrate my actual birthday. My Dads were hoping for that obligatory photo of a cute kid with blue icing smeared all over his face on his first birthday. Well, I don't play that game. I'm must more dignified and prefer to stay clean (as the video and photos below demonstrate). 

And I must send a huge shout-out to Muga and Papsi for not just bringing cupcakes, but also an awesome baby playground for the front yard. 


I liked it a lot more than my Papa who had to put it together. He kept yelling out certain words I didn't understand. But there's a jar in the kitchen that says "swear jar" and it's filled up. Whatever that means.  Other shout-outs include Dada's parents (Mommom Brenda and Poppop Jules) who sent me a dancing and singing Mickey doll that teaches me how to move my hips. Also, a very special homemade gift from Mommom Helene and Poppy Bill, who knitted me an incredible blankie. I take it everywhere... even the bath. Don't ask.

It just got better from there. Saturday morning I woke up with a lot of anticipation for the day's festivities. My Dads threw me an awesome "Mickey Mouse" themed birthday party in the park with all my best friends.

Look! Me and Dada are wearing the same sweater. Coincidence? Nope.

I got to see my cousins and lots of other people I don't really know, which lead to some photos of me being very shy (like this one).

It was a great party, especially when aunt Tash and uncle Drew showed up with the coolest present ever. My own convertible. Now the neighborhood girls will definitely notice me at red lights. Check it out.

I am really tired now. So instead of going on and on... enjoy some of these photos.

Love Maxwell 


P.S. Extra special shout-out to my Dada's friend Harold, who helped create my unforgettable, totally creative Mickey Mouse Birthday Poster. You rock, bud!
