I'm grateful every day Grandpa Moore was able to meet his namesake. Of course I wish Asher would have more vivid memories of him, but I am going to make sure he hears all about his Great Grandpa Moore and the amazing man that he was.
Look how fast one year goes!
Happy First Birthday!
Asher enjoys some of his first birthday time with Grandpa Fotheringham.
After Grandma Ham's visit, there wasn't birthday activity until that night. We decided to try the Mayan Restaurant again, even though the last time we went the food was terrible. We had heard from others they had improved, so we were willing to give it another try. The Mayan has great entertainment for young kids and is set up like you're eating in a rain forest. They have a show with cliff divers and fire dancers, which the whole family loves to watch. Most importantly, it's a family atmosphere and we don't have to worry about our wild monkey boys disturbing others who are eating. You don't have to be quiet at the Mayan and there is plenty of room for the kids to roam around, which is just what our boys need.
After dinner at The Mayan, we returned home and let Asher open his presents from the family. We are having the party for the extended family on 13 October. Grandpa and Grandma Fotheringham are on a cruise and we didn't want them to miss it.
Eli could not resist "helping" Asher opening his presents. Actually, he wanted to open them all and we had to keep reminding him that they were Asher's presents. Thankfully Asher didn't seem to mind- I don't think that will be the case for his 3rd birthday!
