Happy birthday, David! We had a great birthday party for David this afternoon. Since we couldn't spend it with family, though we got to talk to them on the phone and the webcam, we invited the church office staff to come over. Most of the office staff is white water rafting this weekend, so just the youth pastor and his wife, and one of the deacons were able to attend. We had a great time visiting with Pastor Mike, Jessica and Kathy. David got lots of cool presents and enjoyed eating the frosting off of his cupcake. We couldn't get him to blow out the candle, and I think it scared him just a little because he started crying a little bit. Granted, it was kind of a heavy candle for a cupcake, and Becky had to save it from falling over while we were singing happy birthday! I think that's what scared him, haha.
David especially loves the cars he got from Pastor Mike and Jess from the Disney/Pixar movie Cars. He also got a rocking horse that Kathy's dad Lou made especially for him. We got him a game called Animal Scramble, it will help him learn attributes, names and sounds for the elephant, parrot, monkey and tiger. I think he'll love it once he gets the hang of it. And if it lasts, he and Miriam can play it together when he's older.
