I can't get enough of those picture, Celine looks amazing considering she hardly had any make up on, and didn't have time to do her hair. Nelson is the image of Rene as a baby. They're so cute, and RC is turning into a heart breaker in the making! Such a lovely family.

English translation. 7 jours interview with Celine and Rene after the twin's 1st birthday party.
by Celine Dion Forum on Friday, November 4, 2011 at 11:37pm
A whole party for Eddy and Nelson’s birthday!
Nelson and Eddy, Celine Dion and Rene Angelil’s twins, turned one year old last Sunday October 23rd. To celebrate this first birthday, the singing star and her husband invited 70 guests to their residence in Jupiter Island for an intimate party, filled with children’s laughs and chocolate cakes! I had the chance to talk with the happy parents, who talk very fondly of this memorable celebration.

Celine, the first birthday of your twins, it’s a very special event. How would you describe this day?
It was a celebration of life. We couldn’t have just done nothing. We thought about going to Disney, or bringing the family here, or doing a very intimate party, just the 5 of us. Finally, we decided to invite our families and say thank you to the people that helped us give birth to Eddy and Nelson. It was the little ones’ birthday, but most of all was a celebration of life. It was wonderful. I had made RC’s cake when he turned one, so I wasn’t going to pass on these two, evidentely! (laughs) I told the chef: “You can do the most beautiful cake in the world for the guests. But the 2 cakes for the kids, it’s me who will do them”.

You’re staring a new carreer!
(laughs) I was eager to. After doing one Mickey ear, I told myself “I can’t believe I still have 3 more to go”. I adventured myself decorating the cakes, I wanted them to be good. I was about a quarter through the process when I asked my sister Linda to help me put chocolate in the pastry bags. We had so many colors in the kitchen: brown for the ears, red for the tongue... It was worse than doing a hair coloring! I did it for my sons and for me. I had fun doing it, it was a good day.

You invited your close family members and the doctors that took care of you and that helped you to get pregnant...
It’s a bit like a thank you to life. Yes, it’s the twins’ birthday, but one-year-old kids don’t want anything. We celebrate them ever since they were born. So, we said to ourselves “Most people who helped us are nearby. Let’s take advantage of that to make a party of life, to tell them thank you and to be together.

It was a party where kids and grown-ups had a great time...
Indeed. The adults could relax a little in front of the ocean. I wanted that Rene-Charles, who gave me the happiness to become a mother, had a great time too. I think that as a parent, when you see your kids play and have fun, you enjoy life. These are pleasures that life gives us and that we may oftenly take for granted. Children give us a lot of opportunities to make a pause. When we stop, we realize how lucky we are. Anyway, I had such a great time getting icing all over my nose! (laughs) It’s always the same story: eight minutes before the guests arrive, you look in the mirror and you look like Mickey Mouse yourself!

Oh not at all, you are gorgeous!
I realized I had icing on my face, that my bun was a mess and that I had no makeup on. I put a little concealer, a little mascara, and I was ready! The priority was not the bun nor the makeup. I put on a short and a shirt and on with the show! On top of that I don’t sleep much these days... I still breastfeed Nelson. Eddy didn’t want to breastfeed from the moment he had his first teeth, at 9 months and a half. That was a big heart-break for me. With each kid we learn things. But Nelson, he still clings to the heart beats. I still have that great pleasure.

The documentary of Productions J, Celine 3 Boys and a New Show, broadcasted on OWN, gave a lot to talk about because you mentioned the possibility of having a fourth child.
It’s certain that, for us, the subject is always open. It’s true that we have a big boy who is extraordinary and two one-year-old beautiful babies. We’re not gonna forget all that and say “Let’s go, we want more” If someone asks us “Do you want more children?” the answer is yes. And is that going to happen? We don’t know. Do we plan to do it in the near future? No. It’s true that time passes. Years go by. And life goes on. We can’t say “We’ll talk again in 10 years”. We want to enjoy what we have, but it’s certain that the subject stays open.

I couldn’t differenciate Nelson and Eddy when they were newborns. But now, we are getting to recognize each one.
You’ll see when you get to know them better, they really do have their own personality. They are not just physical differences... Both are very emotional. Nelson is very sensitive. If he hits his head, or if his brother pulls his hair, he’s very upset. He cries as if it was the end of the world, like if he had broken his head. It’s scary! (laughs) The guy is insulted. He has very delicate hands. He touches his food before eating it, because he’s not sure if he’s going to put it in his mouth. He’s not a very adventurous-kind of kid. And he has wonderful eyes, he’s very charming.

And how is Eddy?
Eddy is very “interior”. When he cries, we don’t even hear him. He hit his head the other day. The tears were rolling down, but he almost didn’t cry. He’s the youngest one, but when he throws a ball, you better get out of the way! Nelson, he puts down the ball. But Eddy takes it and he always gives his best shot. He’s very independent too.

It appears to me that Nelson and Eddy look like Rene and that Rene-Charles looks like you...
Personally, I have a hard time to see the resemblance between my sons and me. They are too beautiful for me to find a resemblance with me! (laughs) Nelson looks like his dad. In his attitude, Eddy has a lot of Dion. Rene-Charles I find him so cute! His nose is so cute. It won’t be funny, we should not lose our head when the girls start coming to our house! They better pass through the kitchen first, I tell you!

He’s gonna break some hearts!
I don’t want him to. Like all mothers, I know that things will happen to him, he’s gonna get hurt. It’s part of life. We don’t want our kids to get hurt, to suffer. But at the same time, that’s how it is. That’s life.

When I saw Rene in Montreal recently, I asked him about you. He told me you were almost looking forward to going back to Vegas to “relax” because in Jupiter Island, with the twins, you were exhausted.
When I say that, it’s because my kids don’t sleep. There are some very lucky parents with kids that sleep a lot. There are kids that eat better than others, kids that adjust to life better than others. Mine don’t sleep, they want you to hold them, they always had that habit. I’m not able to let them cry a little so that they will go to sleep on their own. I’m almost in the bassinet with them. It’s a choice, I’m not complaining. In Florida, I do the night shift: I hold one after the other, or both at the same time, and on top of that, I have my big boy who comes to me from time to time. So I have some nights that are very, very, very short. It’s like I get used to staying awake. At 6:00 am I prepare Rene-Charles for school, I make sure he has his lunch, that he eats some breakfast, that he took a shower. When Rene is not here, it’s me who takes him to school. He also has baseball practice in the afternoon.

That’s a hectic schedule!
I think i’m Superwoman, with a day shift and a night shift. I’m always in my pyjama with cream or brocoli on my clothes. It’s the duty. On the contrary, in Vegas, there’s someone who comes at night to take care of my children while I sleep. I’m forced to sleep, because of my voice. I sleep for my job. It’s on that sense that I say I will go to relax to Vegas. But when I go to work, it’s not vacation. It’s just that I sleep more, so I am more rested. On the other hand, my happiness is not the same... I prefer being “real” and surrounded by this family love rather than receiving an ovation but having nothing to fulfll me.

What a great conclusion! Thanks again for your generosity. And thank you for sharing these photos of intimate moments with the readers of 7 jours.
It’s our pleasure!

Mr. Angelil what did you think about this first birthday party?
Time flies! Already a year! Each day the twins grow and learn new things. They amaze us. They say now “maman” et “papa”. It’s a great joy to watch them. And we shouldn’t forget that Rene-Charles, even if he’s 10 years old, is growing and learning new things every day.

Who did you chose to invite to the twins’ first birthday?
We invited our family members, but also the doctors who contributed to the miracle of Nelson and Eddy’s birth, either taking care of Celine, or taking care of me.

It was a nice tribute, a way of giving them a little piece of what they did for you.
They became friends.

You owe them your life...
Absolutely.

Did Celine organize this party?
Yes. There was a tent and many carnival games for the kids. The theme was Disney, so there were Mickey Mouses everywhere.

How do you manage to make sure that, even if Celine and you live in a very confortable financial situation, your kids undesrtand that the most important things are not the material ones, regarding presents?
It's our first concern. We teach them the same values that were taught to us, Celine and me in our families. That was also our first concern with Rene-Charles and, today, everyone tells us about his generosity and the good values of our son. We will do the same with Nelson and Eddy.

These photos reveal a desire to keep the family together. It was not a party were the main thing were the presents
It was a party for the youngest ones. All the guests brought their kids and even grand-kids. It was a wonderful day, with lots of games in the garden, like a carnival.

Looking at these photos, do you say to yourself that it's life's second chance to be able to have children after a certain age?
No, maybe I should (laughs) But honestly, I have no age. I don't care about a number. I never think about that.
