Saturday was Gabre's Birthday party. Who knew a 1 year old's Birthday party could be so much work. It took my mom and I three days to pull off this party. We had catered Ethiopian food, PB&J for the kids, a candy buffet, elephant and giraffe cupcakes. I will say we had a few laughs Friday night trying to make the cupcakes actually look like elephants and giraffes. It took us all night with a late night run to the grocery store by Scott.
I also made a Happy Birthday sign in Amharic. It was so windy at the park that the sign lasted about 5 minutes. As you will see it took Scott getting on top of the car to hang the sign for that 5 minutes.
We had a petting zoo come for the last hour. Gabre and all the kids loved the baby animals.....so cute. It was a Birthday to remember.

It was so great to see you guys yesterday. We miss you already. We're sending Scott's company lots and lots of "let the Reeves move where they want" thoughts so that maybe you guys could move up here soon! If not we'll definitely come visit in Dallas next year.

Leah. Thanks for visiting my blog. Gabre is just too cute. I noticed her two little teeth in one of the photos. How precious. Those cupcake giraffe's are verry creative and look yummy!
Hi Leah, Hey, I know of a family that is interested in buying something from your Adoption Shop. Is there an address where I can send them?
