The Birthday Butt

I wasn't sure what to title Elijah's birthday post. But then I decided to go with my favorite 4-year-old's favorite word. Sometimes he and I whisper 'butt' to each other and giggle.

Not that butts have anything to do with his birthday. 
Today was all about Lijee and his ornery self.
We started his day with bacon birthday candles.
Brown sugar beard, acquired from tasting the birthday cake during assembly.
Eli chose the mall, so we went for lunch
and ice cream
 and playing.
 We also went to a movie before we had to go get the bigs from school.
Subway was his choice for dinner. 
 I mustache you, is that lettuce I see?
Poor little guy had the most pathetic lion cake you have ever seen.  At least we had fun making it.
 My Lijee takes the bull by the horns, or maybe by the butt. He likes to go big or go home, and he usually makes quite a mess along the way.
 But he's our mess, and we treasure him dearly.
Happy 4th birthday, Elijah Walker!

A Holly Jolly Christmas

The littles are eagerly awaiting the opening of pressies…
We made birthday cookies for Jesus and Santa.
Yellow for the streets of gold in heaven, dark chocolate for sin, red for Jesus' blood shed on the cross, white for the cleansing of sin, and green for growth in Jesus.

The family celebrated the birth of our Saviour at CCBC.
 We had dinner and checked out Christmas lights on the way home.
 Cookies and milk out for Santa,
carrots out for reindeer,
 stockings are hung by the chimney with care,
 and to all a good night.
Christmas morning!  
The reindeer ate their carrots!
Enjoying our new Headbandz game.
 Thanks for coming, Grannie and Grandad!
From our house to yours, Merry Christmas.
