A Birthday Party for Asher

Asher's Birthday party was a few weeks ago and boy did we have a good time. We had over 40 people attend and we shut down our local coffee shop for the event.  The theme for our January party was a Winter Wonderland with everything centered on feeling warm and cozy. Oddly enough, it happend to be 60 degrees on the day of the party.



Sweet Asher




The location had to fit the theme, a cozy local coffee shop!





Party Favors



Little snowman toys, sitckers, and kazoos to entertain all the "5 and under".




Cupcakes for all the guests--strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla.




I loved our balloons, we had around 100.



Snow globes as our centerpieces. I made the one in the back of this picture.



Giving the Birthday speech right before the cake.




Yummy!




Dig in





Joy




Several times Asher was trying to go for his teether biscuit instead of the actual cake, here you can see him munching on the teether biscuit filled with frosting.



Even Asher's shirt was fit for the occasion. It was a little snowman with Asher's name printed on it.



Bubbie and the baby



Kiera lives up the street and her dad has been friends with Asher's daddy since college.





Alan, one of Asher's first friends. He also lives up the street. He is the cutest little guy. I always want to pinch his cheeks.

My newest little cousin from NYC, Bella.



Elanna, the party girl.

Cousins!



So much fun was had and so many memories were created. What a way to celebrate Asher's first year of life.

"B" is for Black Beans!

Yum, yum, yum! When all else fails give our little one year old some black beans.  And here is a video and picture to prove it. 

Lunch this afternoon, yummy!

Happy Birthday, Asher!

It's the big ONE! We are so happy that this day has arrived. Asher is growing into such a funny little guy. He makes us laugh daily and keeps us on our toes.  What a little love. Happy Birthday, Sweet Asher!

Happy New Year!

 Here are some pictures that were so very cute  and yet they didn't end up in the blog posts this past year. However, they are still worth a mention.  Happy New Year!

Festival of Lights



   We have been very sentimental the last few days leading up to Asher's 1st birthday.  He is such a treasure and makes us laugh everyday.  This past week, we celebrated Hanukkah with our baby dreidal.  The first few days, he went to bed before we even had a chance to light the candles.  So, we had to change it up and not light the candles at sundown. Instead, we lit the candles right before his bed time which sometimes caused Asher to not have that-- oh so joyful holiday feeling we were going for. Oh well, there is always next year!

Protesting the Hanukkah festivities...Really, he is upset that he is in his high chair.



Lighting the candles from Asher's menorah from his Bubbie.




So tired, but we must open presents.



Playing with his gift from his Bubbie. Latches, latches and more latches, oh my!

 A few days later, Grandpa Neil came to join in the festivities, he also read Asher a bedtime story about finding a dreidal.

Note, Asher's cute onesie. He was dressed for the holiday.



Come light them, come light them, the flickering candles in a row.



A feast to celebrate Hanukkah!

Mover and Shaker

Asher is on the move and is getting faster by the minute.  The video below shows how it is probably time to invest in a baby gate for the stairs. Enjoy!

Horsing Around

Our little guy is giving us a glimpse into his personality and we are just getting a kick out of him. The other day he was playing with his hobby horse and it was just making me laugh to see him acting so silly. Here is to our silly little boy!
