Our little Conrad turned Three last Monday.
Planning for his day this year has been noticeably different from the last two years, since I'm less concerned about making things picture perfect and much more interested in making his eyes light up all day long.i wanted his day to be full of all the things he enjoys,and one of Conrad's favorite things is animals.This darling boy will pet, hug, squeeze,lick and pick up just about any animal or bug without hesitation. We should get a dog. Ha! We are fortunate to live in a city where you not only find a zoo, aquariums, exhibits etc.. you are also lucky enough to enjoy an outdoor adventure into the wildlife. The most beautiful safari in all California. We are grateful to have met wonderful friends on this adventure, ones we will have gatherings with and play dates. We lunched all afternoon until it was time for nap. A wonderful day was had. The next day was his birthday, we decided to keep it intimate and simple. A beautiful picnic table was decorated with winter greens, such as eucalyptus because Conrad and i love the smell. A handmade garland was made using eucalyptus leaves and feathers. A simple basket for small gifts, his favorite toys, and my favorite snaps of my little sweetheart hung using clothes pins on twine, and three white balloons. We played games,sang songs on his new guitar, barbecued mini turkey burgers and ate cake. A special day for our little Conrad Fitzgerald.
