Today is the last day of 2015 and the first day of Tavas' life. Here's how his day went.
| In the morning, everything was nice and warm and dark, the way it's been forever. |
| ...but something was afoot. A fool in scrubs was a clue to the day's grand events to come. |
| Mother was ready in her birthday party outfit. |
| Inside the party tent, the magicians performed a great trick... and Tavas' made a spectacular entrance to the party. |
| It turns out all the blue-hands people are very interested in you when it's your naughth birthday. |
| Trust me, I'm a doctor. Not that kind of doctor... but whatever. |
| The rainbow sunshine panda measured Tavas' weight. This is the sort of fun fact inquiring minds want to know. |
| Mother was stuck in the party tent, but did get a chance to wish happy birthday. |
| Even on your birthday, there's always some kind of paperwork that needs to be done. |
| Tavas' birthday hat was a hit at first - until he discovered that what goes on, can also come off. |
| More than one of the people in this picture might be ginger. Sorry son. |
| Mother eventually got out of the party tent and came to join us. |
| Happy 2016 everyone - it's time for a nap. |
