Blowing out his candle
Is this for me?
We made the day into a train theme, as it is also the theme of his bedroom. My father in law has passed down an old electric train which has become a focal point in the nursery.

The girls were thrilled to help decorate the dining room and worked hard at creating trains for the decorations.
Not wanting to create too much work for myself, I made two kinds of cupcakes instead of a cake. A carrot cupcake (sorry no recipe posted) and my chocolate cupcakes with chocolate date icing. Okay, maybe that doesn't sound that simple ;)
Greek yogurt made a great topping for his cupcake,
he devoured it!
On Sunday we also took the opportunity to thank God for our little boy and to acknowledge this blessing through a child dedication at our church. A Child dedication is a public commitment you make before God. The dedication service provides an opportunity to express your desire to lead and spiritually nurture your child in cooperation with the Holy Spirit.
We are so thankful to have been able to share these celebrations with family and friends.
