Thanksgiving and Other Random Pictures

We were excited that our friends from Airzona were able to come to Texas to celebrate Thanskgiving with us this year. We had a very relaxing and fun visit.

Watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade... I know, such a sad/serious face...think someone was still tired.

 Helping Aunt Pam (not his aunt, but that is what he calls her) peel boiled eggs.

 Oh course, our little cook had to be in the kitchen some to help fix ourThanksgiving feast .

 My Two Guys

 Like Elijah's shirt says, "Gobble till you Wobble!"

  Play dough fun later that evening with Aunt Pam

 Picking the first grapefruit from the tree in our backyard.

He had been wanting to do this for a long time and was thrilled he finally got to pick one :)

Elijah is Three!

On November 21, three years ago today, at 4:44 pm, our miracle was born. We never imagined that one little guy could bring so much love, joy, and happiness into our lives. The love we have for him is unmeasurable. Happy Birthday Elijah! Mommy and Daddy love you!

 

Celebrating Elijah Turning Three

Saturday, November 19th, we held Elijah's three year old birthday celebration. This year we had his party at Play Scape (Sugar Creek Baptist Church). We were very grateful for all his friends that attended to help him celebrate this special time! On a personal note, I was very excited to see friends of mine, that I made through teaching, and their sons there too. And Elijah LOVED having both sets of his grandparents there as well. All in all, it was a fun party and Elijah had a blast!! Looking forward to tomorrow (Monday, November 21st) to say "Happy Birthday" to our sweet boy who will be three!

Thanks Mrs. Liz for the cute cupcake toppers!

 Here we go Daddy!

Follow me Paw paw :) What can, I say? I have the BEST Dad .... and Mom too!

 This is what I pray that at 74 I will still be able to do!!!!

Look Mommy, I made sure all the icing is gone

After the party we headed home for some much needed rest time for all of us.  Then Elijah opened up his presents and let me just say he got SO many! In fact, I put some away to pull out at a later date. =)
