It was fun celebrating Michael's first birthday!
They have a tradition they learned in Ukraine. On a child's first birthday, you make a circle of items representing different occupations/interests. You set the child in the middle of the circle and see which item they go to first. It could possibly mean a future occupation/interest/or talent! Michael is checking out the things in the circle.
With very little thought he goes straight for the plastic hammer!
Kathryn is showing him the mobile and pop-up card she made for him:
But he is more interested in the container she put them in. Hmmmm, plastic again!
I wonder what that means for his future?
On to more presents!
Fun with Daddy!
And finally some yummy cake.
Michael has a cold and a runny nose, poor little guy, on his birthday.
But with Grandpa helping we got a smile and some clapping!
Other highlights of the celebration: Pancake dinner, decorations by the Melanchicks (aka Kathryn and Amelia), and movie made by Amanda showing all of the other kids on their first birthdays and then showing photos and videos of Michael over this past year!
