But first let's look back to Michael at six months old....
An adorable baby!
Now back to 2011...As Michael awoke on his birthday, his brothers and sisters were busily preparing for the celebration. Some were toilet-papering his door...
Susannah wasn't quite sure what was about to happen, but she knew it was gonna be fun!
Michael burst forth victoriously to officially begin his birthday celebration. Mmmmm.....what's that wonderful smell?
The girls had been busy downstairs preparing Michael's birthday breakfast. He requested chocolate chip pancakes.
The table was set with our "Pooh" birthday tablecloth (another family tradition) and birthday plates. We enjoyed a delicious meal and each family member blessed Michael with a special prayer. Then we moved into the living room for present time (yet another family tradition).
Michael was blessed with many nice gifts, including his very own bag of Twizzlers!
After presents, we got ready for church. Michael was very excited that his birthday coincided with 1st Sunday Lunch (potluck) at our church. After 1st Sunday Lunch, Michael had a birthday football game with all the boys.
Here are the teams with their neat jerseys created by the girls the night before.
Daddy led the teams in stretching before the game began.
Blue is ready for action!
Water break! The sisters on the sidelines made sure the water cups were filled for the teams' breaks.
Red gets ready to roll!
A very cute cheerleader!
Red wins the game!
Blue played awesome!
Now for a sweet treat after all that sweating.......
Cloe watches Susannah enjoying her cake.
Yosi and Mihrette think it's great too!
So does Ana!
Michael's reaction as the coaches dumped the cooler full of ice water on his head. What a good sport!
I think Michael had a GREAT day......
