I realized I had posted these pics to facebook, but not to the blog. So while I wait... impatiently... for pictures from China of Eli havign his birthday cake there we ordered for him. These will have to do. :)
 |
| We just had a small cake we picked up at HEB with Steve, Zoe, Levi & myself. The kids enjoyed putting sugar letters on it. Because I never buy these... lol And in honor of Eli's chinese heritage we added apples, the only fruit in the house. |
 |
| Levi picked out sparkler candles in Eli's favorite colors of red, yellow & green, and Dad lit them. |
 |
| It was quite the little show... :) |
 |
| Levi asked to blow out the candles for his brother... |
 |
| It was a tall order with those sparklers. At one point Levi asked if they were trick "re-light" candles. lol |
 |
| Zoe insisted she got to cut the cake for her brother, since Levi got to blow out the candles. :) |
 |
| Levi obliged & began eating the sugar letters... |
 |
| This was a fun intimate family celebration. |
 |
| Good thing we watched a movie after to allow the sugar highs to come down. ;) |
 |
| But Levi enjoyed the fruit on the cake too. |
 |
Steve REALLY didn't want his pic taken. But was very much a part of the celebration.
Since I was the one taking pics, I avoided the camera. lol |
 |
| Zoe amazes me how much she WANTS this adoption. God has blessed us with a truly wonderful daughter. I mean really, how many teenage girls do you know who just want another little annoying brother... lol |
 |
| We smeared what we could of frostthe glazed icing on Levi's face in honor of chinese tradition and in Eli's place. |
Can't wait to get pics of Eli's birthday celebration in China. Next year, God willing, we will all be together!
What a sweet family celebration! I sent Journey a cake from Ladybugs N Love and I received wonderful photos! What a blessing those will be to you too!
