Flashback Friday – first birthday

Posted on February 25, 2011August 30, 2022 by jenny

There’s a new photograph meme over at Cafe Bebe called Flashback Friday. It sounded fun and I found the perfect photograph! We’ll shortly be celebrating Edward’s first birthday and I thought I’d compare my own party many moons ago. I’m a definite child of the 70s with that plastic bib and the party food.

We’re taking Edward off to Bruges for a couple of days over his birthday so hopefully we’ll have a little party when we return home. Expect the same kind of photograph of Edward surrounded by food with rosy red cheeks, recorded for posterity.

    Hi,
    I LOVE that photo. There’s a likeness between you and Edward.
    I can’t participate in FF till hubby gets back and scans my photos.
    I am a 70s babe too 🙂

    I love this pic! Such an amazing capture surrounded by all that party food and such a cool 70’s pick. Brings back memories as I was born in 1974 and the other day I wrote about about my 80’s childhood growing up 🙂 Thanks for sharing this x

    Love those red cheeks! You look like a baby model. I think I had the same highchair! 🙂
