Happy Birthday to you....You live in a zoo...



Well, it DOES feel like a zoo around here sometimes, but mostly in a very good way. We are having a lot of crazy fun here in the Geselle house! And today we were happy to celebrate the first birthday of the very newest members of our family. Calvin and Zahara turned 1 year old today!

I think Eliana was more pumped up and excited than anyone. She kept skipping around the house talking about presents and "happy cake" (her name for birthday cake). Since it was going to just be the 5 of us I kept it kinda low key. I made some cupcakes and a very small round cake that said "Happy First Birthday". We sang to them and let them each dig into a cupcake. It was so fun watching them. Calvin was tenative at first (he had just woken up from a nap), but Zahara dug right in! She had two fistfulls and kept shoving it in as fast as she could. Calvin wasn't too far behind and he soon had a face completely covered with blue frosting.

We feel so blessed to have celebrated their first birthday with them and to have these 2 special rays of sunshine in our lives. God is so good.

Love,
Tony, Jill, Eliana, Calvin and Zahara Geselle
