Griffin and his gifts at the family birthday celebration. 

This gift seems to require scissors... 

ok, got it open... Anastasia wants to help, too. 

a desk and chair! 

Griffin is in heaven with a real chocolate bar and his birthday cake. 

Nanie needed her own candle, too. 

Dima attacking a strawberry.

Dima is showing definate signs of a budding raw-foodist. Here he is at Griffin's family birthday party diving into a berry. Then the other night we all went out for Thai food and Dima gnawed on a raw cucumber, masticated an entire leaf of Romaine lettuce and tried out some bean sprouts (he didn't like those too much). 

Nanie and Griffin bobbing for apples. 

Cakes!!!!!!!
