1st Birthday

Recently we were invited over to our friend's house to celebrate their son's 1st birthday. Micah was excited to go see his friends, Ben and James, and to also get to eat some cake. :) We had a great afternoon celebrating along with some of their Arab friends too. The Arab tradition is to not open presents until everyone leaves, so we waited until they left for Ben to start opening his gifts. I think we made a good decision on waiting to open the gifts, because it allowed all of us "westerners" to get a good laugh at some of the gifts he received from the Arabs (example: two bunnies sitting on a heart shaped pillow!?!). There were plenty more too...trust me. It was a fun party and even a cultural experience in some ways.
