The Year of Birthdays always commences with that cute little Mei-Toy who was born on New Year's Eve............................

The next birthday is Giano on January 12th. This is him on his birthday in 2010 when he still had long hair and a ponytail...................

He celebrated his birthday with his Mama................

And all the Santa Fe Familia............................

On February 24th, Crista shares a birthday with..................

Baby Bianca!--who was born on the same day nine years later. In 2010 she celebrated in San Francisco....................

We're guessing on when Solange has her birthday, but on the day this photo was taken, she was clearly ready for her "close-up"....................

Uncle Eddie celebrated a milestone birthday in 2010--#90! (More photos of that event to be posted later)..................................

Waymon counts his loot on his birthday--the first day of spring....................

Grandma Alice was born on Good Friday, and in 2010 her birthday again fell on Good Friday.............

Those Enciniases have a patch of time in April all to themselves--Donna's birthday first followed by Artie's, with a "Tween" day in between.........................

Rachel shares her birthday with Earth Day! In 2010 she celebrated in New York...................

The mighty Miss Chiara shares her birthday with JFK in May. Last year she was in New York for her day--freshly back from Scotland.................

Guessing on the birthday of the sleek Lady Tallulah--based on the fact that she was approximately six weeks old when we adopted her.........................

The dymanic Toesette was having a ball in New York for her birthday--which is some sort of national holiday in France. (Toesette Day?)..................

On my birthday about ten years ago, Santa Fe reached 100 degrees for the first time in my life--that I can remember. Derek Jeter also has a birthday on the same day--I am perfectly willing to celebrate together. (At Yankee Stadium, perhaps)...................

In 2010, Sisi brought me the bestest gift of all-beautiful flowers to enjoy all summer!............

Another total guess on date--Miss Topaz celebrated by eating and sleeping--her favorites...............

Dwight celebrates his birthday, along with the USA, on July 4th.........................

Louie doesn't like to celebrate his birthday, but it comes along in mid July every year anyway.............

Louise had a humdinger of a party for her birthday in early August.................

Danny checks out his card at his Birthday party that he shared with...................

Cathy! whose birthday is just one day later. She seems very pleased with her new scarf.............

The feast of Saint Gregory, The Wonder Worker!--and Sisi's birthday too....................

Everybody loves Sisi's birthday!......................

This is Elliott's Birthday party in 2009--he was into dinosaurs........................

In 2009, Dude was somewhat underwhelmed by his cake.............................

But everyone else enjoyed watching him open his presents......................
