Elijah's Birthday Afternoon

After the boys' naps, I put their little matching outfits back on for the rest of the day. I just love this picture of my boys, loving each other and having fun, with cute smiles for mama's camera! Thanks, boys.

Elijah loves making Malachi laugh! Tickle, tickle! Love how Malachi has his hands by his face, just letting his brother love on him.

I've been keeping this in the closet and finally gave it to Elijah for his present! It is perfect for him and we spent the rest of the afternoon playing with this.

Malachi was a little "cherub", as my mom calls him, and just wheeled in the stroller while Elijah drove his car.

What a precious boy! This place is where the school and mission buildings are walled in with a guard, by the way, so it has smooth sidewalks and is a safe place to play.

His first car....already getting more independent!

Stopping to smell the roses. Getting flowers for Mama!

Here is his dinner (what kind of a mom am I?!). I wanted him to have a chance to blow out candles one more time, and this time I made him wait until I finished singing. I loved having some special time with just Elijah this afternoon. Thank you, Lord, for our boy and for a wonderful year! May he come to know Jesus at an early age and follow you all his days!
