This little birthday boy enjoyed his first birthday party with his close family. We are ever so thankful to be able to have Tarik home with us for his birthday this year. Last year we missed it but still had a cake with some friends of ours to celebrate the day. This year we almost missed it again, but by the miracles of last minute doors opening so we could get to Ethiopia, we were able to have Tarik home with us just in time. We were only home 2 weeks before his birthday came. Everything is so new to him that even having the grandparents over to our house was a bit overwhelming.
Take a look at these birthday pictures! We made a "1" cake and a "2" cake since we missed celebrating his first birthday with him and wanted to make up for it! The cake was a hit with him smashing it and making a huge mess of the icing. Such a precious site to see his facial expressions! Tarik loves to sing, so singing "Happy Birthday" made his day. After the song he continued to say, "to you," "to you!" We all sang to him again!
