Mark's 1st Birthday Party- #1

Our little boy is very lucky--- he will have not one, but two Birthday parties to celebrate him turning one! We had the first of these two Birthday parties on his actual Birthday (the 27th of March). We did much celebrating, laughing, and remembering with his Mimi & Papa Harrington , his Aunt Emily & Molly, Uncle Ben & Ross, the Gray family and Miss Tara Just. Here are the pictures to prove it..

Saying "Good-bye" to 11 months

Morning fun with Mimi and Papa

German pancakes for Mark's birthday breakfast - a Harrington tradition

the decor

We all got in the part spirit with these Birthday hats. Remarkably, Mark kept his on for a couple hours!!
Mark's Kitty Cake: Before Mark was born (before we even knew "he" was a boy), the Pfeil kids gave this kitty to their future cousin. This kitty was the first toy to instantly make him smile :-) He loves his Kitty!

Mark's first bites of cake did not disappoint the eater nor the observers!

Mark got some wonderful birthday gifts from everyone. Here he is enjoying some of them...




**We also have some great videos from his Birthday, but they will have to be added separately. I guess this means this post is "to be continued..."**

Why the name "Drinking From Our Saucer"?

The full phrase is "I'm drinking from my saucer because my cup is overflowing." It came from Chris's grandmother who would say it when she would get overwhelmed with her blessings. Through the years the phrase has been shortened to "I'm drinking from my saucer!" We thought it was a perfect fit for a blog that documented God's many blessings to us.
