Just two days after we returned home from our trip from Sanibel Island, our family had a big fun-filled day.
Bereket's winter dance recital was scheduled for December 15th. Since that was just 10 days before Jason's Christmas Day birthday, I invited our families to come watch Bereket dance and then join us at our house for a little birthday celebration (it was about time Jason had a proper birthday party!).
Cousins Isabelle and Daniel had a sleep-over at our house the night before, and Friday night's laughter and excitement continued on the dance floor when my friend Tara said they could dance with Bereket in the recital! Everyone had so much fun!
Bereket looked like such a little princess in the dance costume Grandma
LuAnn gave her. My heart melts whenever I see her in it.
After the recital, it was back to our house for a simple meal followed by a tropical cake inspired by our trip to Sanibel.
It was so hard for the kids to wait to eat the cake. They each knew exactly what part of the cake they wanted!
But first, Daddy (or Dee-Dah as Bereket affectionately calls him lately) had to blow out his candles!
What a wonderful celebration.
Today is Christmas Day, Dee-Dah's actual birthday. We enjoyed Christmas presents and brunch at his parents' home in Wisconsin. After we ate, Bereket blew out a candle on a mini cupcake so Jason could make a birthday wish!
Jason, you are so loved by all of us! Happy Birthday!
Looks like Dee-dah and daughter both had a great time. :)
