Tea for Two

Hannah turns 7 in about 11 days!! Where, oh, where has the time gone? 

Since we'll be on vacation at that time, and since next weekend is Easter, we let her have a small party with a few friends (one didn't make it so it was just Ella, her bff). She chose to have a tea party, so of course we had to decorate...and have tea! 

Hannah made pb&j sandwiches:

 

And we found an idea on Pinterest we had to try:

Very tedious hanging it from our ceiling, taping it to the sides, taping extra to complete the look...let's just say, time consuming. But with Hannah exclaiming, "It's so beautiful, Mommy," and "it's super, duper pretty," I was more than happy to beautify the plain space!! :-)

 

Hannah and her wonderfully sweet friend, Ella 

(Hannah was done with pictures at this time and ready for lunch!!)

I love this next one, signifies their relationship: close like sisters

 

And while the girls played, the guys had a "Dude's Day"

Andy took Noah to Pizza Hut (of course) and a local baseball game (what else!)

By the way, yes, the Blue Devils won their game!

Hey...what about me?!

And Elijah stayed home to play in the warmth. With Mommy and Ms. Kelly (who came for tea too!)

Happy 1st Birthday

Happy First Birthday Elijah Samuel!!!!

Friday, March 15, 2013 our little boy turned one...

...and is so much fun to be around, you can't help but want to pinch his cheeks give him a hug!!

We had a great day playing at Wallabies (a fun bounce house place for me the kids to climb, bounce, jump and play) on Friday with a few of Elijah's friends

Then on Saturday, we had a few friends over to celebrate with cake. And you always wonder, will the child love his cake? Will he even try this strange substance he's never had? Well...let's see...

The smash cake...all for Elijah:

Oh, did we mention we are walking? After months of "cruising" around the house holding onto walls, furniture, etc., at 11 months he let go and never stopped!

So at first he was hesitant...but after a few minutes:

Isn't this what you said? Dig in, right?!

Why, yes, I believe he likes cake!!! Elijah just may turn out like Noah, who lives for sweets!!! See the link for the video on the side that shows how much he enjoyed his birthday.
