I have no idea where this last year has gone, but it has gone by in a hurry. Rebekah and Kaden turned 1 on Thanksgiving Day. It was a Happy BirthThanksgiving Day for us! They are both doing so well and have been pretty healthy babies so far. Both are close to walking. Kaden will take steps on his own and probably goes 3 or 4 steps before crashing down. Bekah is content to just stand in place or walk behind her walker. They are so much fun and we've been blessed so much! When Ben & I were first married we wondered if we'd ever even be able to have children and now looking at our beautiful family, it's completely overwhelming to me the amount of love I feel from my Heavenly Father. He has blessed us with four beautiful miracles! Thanksgiving day was indeed a day of thanks.
Bekah loved her little 'Lady'.
Kaden & Bekah love to play with my cell phone so we decided to get them their own. Kaden saying "hello" on his phone.We celebrated Thanksgiving with The Ericksen side of the family. It was fabulous just being with family and eating waaaaaay past when your stomach's content. :) Thanks mom and dad for the wonderful food. It was all delish!
The day following Thanksgiving we had a little birthday celebration with the other two sides of the family. We had cake and ice cream and serenaded our little ones. There was a joint effort in making Bekah & Kaden's birthday cake. I woke up early Friday morning to hit some of the sales (my first time doing this), so Ben made the cake and when I got home I decorated it. It turned out really good and tasted great too! By the way, black Friday wasn't too bad. I had imagined it being really horrible, and I actually had an enjoyable time. Thanks to my sister-in-laws Kim and Tina.
The joint effort birthday cake. Our babes really love dogs so we decided to do a puppy cake.
Posing with the cake. If I look a little exhausted it's because I was! Definitely not used to waking up at 3:40 in the AM.
Ben & I with our adorable little one year olds! Happy Birthday Kaden & Rebekah!
All said, the Thanksgiving holiday was simply marvelous!
They are such cuties! The cake was definitely awesome! You're helping me next year with Brooklyn's! :) Happy Birthday to those two!! We sure do love them!
ReplyDeleteI have been going out on Black Friday since before I can remember.... Now that you have experienced it, you will never miss it again. So worth it! And what an adorable cake!!
ReplyDeleteThe cake looks great. What amazing miracles we are blessed with.
ReplyDeleteCute blog! Thanks for the link. Your kids are darling. :)
ReplyDeleteBlack Friday sales are great! I agree--the crowds aren't too bad in the wee hours of the morning. I wish the mall would open at 6am more often!
