We got together with family and friends on Sunday to celebrate Kieran’s birth - his “Inauguration” as my mother -in-law called it. We weren’t many, just enough. My mother-in-law; Lucas, Kieran and I; Lucy, Loic and Ian; our friends Olivier and Vanina; my brother-in-law Manouche and his girlfriend Cécile.
As usual my mother-in-law laid a beautiful table, with a special service bought just for the occasion. The vases are “timbales”, the silver cups traditionally given at the birth of a baby.
And speaking of timbales, Lucas was presented with the one that belonged to his late uncle, who was also his godfather. We celebrated with champagne.
During lunch Kieran took a nap (albeit a brief one!) in a traditional Alsatian berceau, made by a family friend and decorated by my mother-in-law
Dessert was a combination of delights with home made ice-cream, Lebanese pastries, West Indian black cake and cupcakes.
I think this photo clearly shows that the entire event was a resounding success!
