Birthday...

OK so I was supposed to have already posted some Birthday pictures, but I haven't. I am slow and I apologize. Today has been filled with pending time with the family and playing games together. It reminded me of times I spent with my brothers. Just some highlights from yesterday, James first birthday. I woke him up in the morning and sung him Happy Birthday in French and English, but through out the day he heard it in Latin (Aunt Brynna), German (Grandmom and Daddy), Spanish (Daddy), Arabic (Daddy), and Portuguese (Daddy). I thought that was pretty cool. We also took him to JcPenny for some photos and we were disappointed. We got there at 3:30 for our appointment, maybe we were two minutes late. There was a family waiting already to go, but they weren't on the list and the mom was going to wait until a place opened. They told her she was next then informed us we were really next. It was about 3:45 or 3:50 when the four clock showed up. This Pennys has one studio. I asked online for an hour appointment. I decided it was time to leave. I was really upset because I wanted some pictures for his Birthday and I even dragged his Grandpop away from a major football game to go. It was really upsetting, but at the mall we were able to do something really cool. We got on the elevator and I noticed this little boy on the elevator. It was odd because it was us and two black women and he was white. I asked them if he belonged to them and the lady was like no. The lady then thought the boy got on by accident, but there was a line of people to get on and no one tried to stop him. She took his hand and walked him over to a lady once we got upstairs. The black lady was a little nit high strung or like hyper. I don't know, but Adam's mom watched her. The lady took the boy over to a white lady on the bench and the lady was like he is not mine. Then the little boy kept saying his mom was in different stores. All this was going on in about 30-40 seconds. I saw a cop as the lady was coming back our way. She took the boy over to the cop and Adam's mom went over too. They talked with the boy for a few minutes and almost instantly the mother shows up being escorted by a police officer. I thought the mother was going to cry. She was trying to hold it all in. She said that he had done this kind of thing before. It was really scary. We had no reason to get on that elevator. We were just trying to stop being upset about the Penny's photo studio. We had just been looking at Santa and I noticed a train upstairs. We went on the elevator to "check out" the train. We really had no reason to be there, but I know it was to help Owen and his mom get back together. I know that God answers prayers and that he knows were certain things are even when we don't. He also knows what we can do wen prompted to speak up and do what is right. Ok so this was supposed to be about James' Birthday. SO James got this Lighting McQueen pushy car thing and when he saw it his face glowed. He loved it instantly. It was cute to see. My favorite birthday present was the book my mom made for him. It was so cool to read and to show off to everyone. I think she is an excellent writer and I hop e to be as good as her someday. Now back to the party. In Adam's family they have a tradition that on the First Birthday the Birthday person gets his own cake. I decorated a blue monster on James cake. He was not to sure what to do with the cake. I think he got more on him and the floor then in his mouth. It was so cute to watch. Today we watched the video and James started to smack his lips. He smacks his lips when he is hungry. He wanted some. SO we gave it to him. He only ate a little bit yesterday. I thought that was really cute too. I will post pictures and such later. I am to tired to night. We just finished putting up all of our Christmas ornaments and decorations. It is always fun to see the ornaments and tell the stories about them.
