Hmmm, now that I think about it, bf has never sent me an email in my life. LOL. He is not a computer guy, he just trains online a soccer team or something *shrugs* and that's the only site he has any interest in. I guess he still loves me though. And I don't think we never needed an e-mail. We live two minutes apart on foot, closer than what I usually take to walk my dog, go figure. So we see each other on a daily basis, sometimes more that once. But he is great whispering :oops: things, and what can I say? I prefer those :)
So yesterday we celebrated Xabier's birthday, which is actually today but yesterday was a better day to gather all the family. All my nephews are special in their own way, really different from each other. Maybe Xabier is the one that resembles me the most when I was a kid. He doesn't make a big fuss out of his birthday, the presents or the cake. He actually hates blowing the candles, go figure. The only thing he always asks for is to have all his cousins together with him. Isn't he awesome or what? :D
He lives like 1 hour apart from the rest of us, so he just sees his cousins like once a month. And he really gets along with them and misses them. He has always impressed me as being a really affectionate kid, totally detached from material things. He loves animals and people. He just doesn't give a damn about the rest. He turned 8 today and I hope that his personality stays forever :)
Xabier got loads of presents but he specially loved his parents' one: two sister female midget dogs. They were 3 months already and they aren't supposed to grow any more. We'll see. Xabier decided to call them Elur and Ixa. They already have dogs but those are used to go hunting pigeons, so they are pretty nervous and not really suitable to play with the kids. So Xabier was over the moon with his present. And so were all of us. The puppies were just adorable :)
And now the pictures. Xabier's most loved presents, aka the puppies and all his cousins :D
Xabier's cake. Since he didn't blow the candle, I forgot to take a pic of the cake before being cut.

Markel made an Eiffel Tower for me. He actually said the "Eiffel" bit, go guess where has he heard that. In case you wonder, the tower is the sand inside the funnel :lol:
