Elijah turned One today. I can’t believe it! He is growing up so fast. Quentin and I joined a new church that is close to the house and a lot smaller than our previous church. I have been attending a women’s bible study and have taken part in a mentoring program where you are paired with another woman of the church. Tori is who I was paired with and what a blessing she has been. I had mentioned to her that it was Elijah’s birthday this week and a few days later she invited us over to eat and celebrate his birthday. She went beyond anything I expected. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner of venison, which I have not had in so long. Asia filled her tummy as well with the great food and much to my surprise still had room for dessert. I had not planned to celebrate Elijah’s birthday since he is so young but I am so glad we did. It was a fun evening and the company was fantastic.
They had party hats and balloons with clowns attached to the string. Asia really enjoyed playing with the balloons. Elijah was waiting for the party to begin.
Above is the decorated table and the delicious banana cupcakes.
Elijah is ready to dig in and patiently waits as we sing Happy Birthday. I had to help blow out the candle. As you can see in the second photo Asia was testing the icing. She had just put her finger in the icing and was tasting it.
Meet the host, Scott and Tori. It was getting late and Elijah was getting tired and cranky so that is why he was crying. After a few minutes he calmed down and was content.
