One of the two reasons that we had for coming over to Scotland this time was to get to know our new Grandson. And Sunday was Harrison's first birthday. Now in reality, this celebration is primarily for the adults. For Laura and Dorian, it's a sigh of relief that they had made it this far. For the Grandparents, it's a joyous recognition of the fact that the line will continue. Our family will stretch forward into the future. We will have, in a way, left a mark. For the aunts and uncles, it's an obligation thing with, hopefully food and drink involved. For the little cousins, there will probably be toys.
Harrison had a fine party that he will not remember except for the pictures. It was very funny to watch Laura and Dorian absolutely refuse to have those pictures where the one year old smears cake icing all over his face. Anyway, here are a few pictures.
Harrison has been blessed with wonderful little cousins. Jude is 4 and Eloise is about 6 months.
They made it lots of fun for the birthday boy.
We all had a fine time, and there was wonderful food and drink.
A milestone for sure!
