Our youngest grandson, by 3 weeks, turned 4 a few days ago. I believe they had a joint birthday party with a few kids. As part of our house clean-out we had sent several beanie-babies to use as party favors. After food they were put on the table and the kids were allowed to choose. One of Elijah’s friends whom we have met chose a Sammy “Sosa” bear, and was seen carrying it the next day. Apparently they were a big hit. That makes me so happy. They get a second life.
When we sent the beanie babies a few larger stuffies were also included. One of those, a Gund Polar bear has been adopted by Elijah, including becoming his first bedtime buddy.
Ashlan says Elijah is being cagey about identifying who is who in this picture. I think the central figure is Ashlan, if the long lines are hair.
On our end it was a quieter day. A relatively short walk and a new recipe for chicken that turned out really well. Marinated in a mixture of honey, olive oil, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper, then broiled on each side for a few minutes followed by baking till done. Relatively easy and very tasty. No pictures were taken.
