Happy Birthday Elijah!

Elijah turned one on Saturday (July 5th)! I can't believe he is already a year old. Here are our kiddos the night before, waiting to go to fireworks:

Here's one of the girls helping me feed the bunnies before we left:On Sunday afternoon we had Jason, Jenny, Kari and Joe over for a barbecue, cake and ice cream. Elijah didn't quite understand the present thing yet, but here is one gift he held onto:

He held onto that $10 bill nice and tight. Then it was on to the cake. I have never tried decorating a cake before, and I ran out of white icing, so the cake didn't turn out as nice as I wanted it to:It is supposed to be a bath tub. Elijah didn't care that it got messed up a bit, he ate it anyway :-)

Happy birthday Elijah! Here's to another fun year watching you grow and learn new things.

Great pictures, Valerie! I don't know who's growing faster -- the bunnies or the children! Happy Birthday to your big boy! I think the cake was great, by the way. The rubber duckies were a nice touch.
