Velour Is Making a Comeback

Way back in October (where does the time go??) -- Lilly and Warren came to the house for a little birthday party for Uncle Ross.  Although I baked a cake mix in an oblong pan -- we had to cut it into pieces so we could use our NEW FAVORITE THING...a cake stand that actually SINGS HAPPY BIRTHDAY.  Oh My.  Such treasure...

The Farro Family Birthday cake is ALWAYS chocolate cake with peanut butter icing...

These pictures were taken in October -- Warren was JUST starting to walk on his own...

For his birthday, Ross wanted a velour tracksuit. (Yes, just like the ones they wore on The Sopranos). He is fascinated by all-things-Frank-Sinatra-Rat-Pack -- and, apparently, velour was the latest in high fashion menswear back in the 60's...

Ross put on his new velour duds, and keeps stroking the sleeves, saying, "classy and sophisticated"...

I ordered Ross's velour from Amazon -- and two days later -- found Warren's at a thrift store...

Warren's FAVORITE thing to do is walk outside...

Ross ALWAYS takes him for a walk...and they do all the usual things.  Visit the chickens, pick apples off the tree...check the doors on all the cars...

They always end up here....
