The First Birthday!

"My baby's name is Adel and she is already one!" is what Zusha announces to anyone who is willing to listen.
Although the party was almost four weeks ago, the later I post about it the longer the festivities last, right? That's my philosophy, at least.

Introducing the big one-year-old girlie!


Look how gracefully Adel accepts her birthday ice cream cake!

(Also, please notice how Gedalya announces that he is a chameleon, because of his party blower. LOL.)

Digging in!



"This isn't all that bad!"


Zusha agrees.


Flapping her wings in excitement


And then it was time for presents!
"Thank you, everyone, so much. I have no words. I am so grateful. *sniffle*"

Adel got a board book, soft fabric blocks,

colorful stacking cups and a baby dolly.

Which Gedalya adopted for himself right away.


It's not like I left him deprived, though. The boys received a "Happy Birthday, Adel" present as well. A panda puzzle, slinkies, and Lego cars and trucks.


And each child got a helium balloon.

Yep, Adel still loves them!

Then we attempted at some family photos. I guess between all the attempts, we do have the whole family in there. LOL


(Showing off her big girl skirt... heh heh. )


Happy birthday sweet little Adi! We are so blessed to have you and look forward to many more years as wonderful as the first!
