Asher is 3!


This past weekend we celebrated Asher turning 3 and had a family birthday party a few days delayed.  Bibi and I got back from our UAE & India New Year's Cruise and with enough sleep on the plane rides, were able to bounce right back into action.  With Asher's birthday being on New Year's, I think he will one day enjoy all the hype and celebration - parties all around the world just for him!


This year, things were more tame, however, and we had a super hero themed birthday party at home.  Everyone was encouraged to dress up and there were certainly some creative costumes.  The four of us had more well-known costumes while others came as Super Stretch (Stacey), Penguin (Leo), The Time Traveler (Bibi), Super Zee (guess who) and Dad (Brad) - thank you all for your effort.



A few weeks ago, Bibi asked Asher what he wanted his birthday cake to look like and he said he wanted an M&M/pickle/orange cake - so who am I to deny my son of the cake that he asks for?  I had just flown 14 hours on a plane the night before but you better believe that I whipped up that cake just for him!


At three, Asher is precocious, silly, smart and active.  He wants to do most of the things that Riley does but also shows the differences between them.  We love seeing the smiley, snuggly, quirky and brave side of Asher and can't wait to see what else this year brings out in him!
