~ Capturing the context of contentment in everyday life ~
This week's {pretty, happy, funny, real} will be like last week's. I wanted to share a few photos from Matthew's birthday. Since they could be considered in more than one category, I'll just lump them as one big {p,h,f,r} category.
{pretty} {happy} {funny} & {real}
We had a small party for Matthew on his birthday. I love the birthday sign that Bella made to go with the circus theme.
While I was decorating the family room Matthew kept himself occupied by decorating our long hallway. I think he mistakenly took a roll of toilet paper for streamers.
On every first birthday we make cupcakes and let the birthday boy eat one on his own. (Once the child really gets into it Brian says, "Come one! Do you have to let him make such a mess?!" My mind immediately start playing the song "Tradition" by Tevia and I respond, "Of course, sweetie! That's half the fun! And think what a fun post this will make." ;-)
Matthew points out which cupcake he wants.
He says, "Wow, this cupcake is bigger than I thought. I need a breather." (And so you don't think I am an abusive mother, I do remove most of the cupcake from his hand so he won't get too full.)
He is one happy camper and I must say the neatest of all our baby eaters. He didn't want to waste any of the yummy goodness on his hair. (Brian was relieved.)
I also wanted to get photos of the kids and when I was taking Andrew's picture he was more concerned that he had to keep an eye on John Paul so that he wouldn't eat his cupcake when Andrew wasn't looking.
Lastly, here is the birthday boy playing on his new birthday toy. :-)
