Our First Friend Birthday Party!

Micaiah's little friend, Israel, turned 2 last weekend and it was his first "friend" birthday party! It was a special time, because it was the FIRST birthday that we got to actually celebrate with Israel, since being adopted from Africa by our sweet friends, the Gerlachs! Carla planned an awesome party! The kids LOVED it!

This (above) picture is from earlier in the week when we took our boys to the mall to play! Yes, I now go to the mall to PLAY...shopping...what's shopping?

Israel had a rockin' Elmo cake made by Jessica and some pretty darn cute cupcakes, too!

Carla had one table that had bags that you could decorate for an Easter egg hunt and take home party favors! Such a cute idea that I want to re-use!

Micaiah did pretty well for himself against the "big kids" and ended up with 4 Easter eggs... Daddy might have had something to do with that, too!

Then came the crazy present opening time where all the kids flocked of course!

I made Israel a cute birthday dog shirt with his name on it!

It was pretty fun! I remember that Micaiah was ready to GO though...toward the end he decided he was ready to go home and ran around waving buy to everyone! haha! He's got my extroverted-ness, but Hart's social time frame! Best of both worlds! lol!

Good job, Carla! It was fun!
