Two of our sons and our new daughter-in-law have birthdays in January (15, 16, 19) along with a nephew, brother and niece (16, 22, 25). On Friday night last we had an early birthday dinner celebration for our oldest, Josh.
Since we were having a couple Russian dishes for the main meal the table was set in a Russian theme.
We had Loppsha (Russian Noodle Soup) for our starter.
Our main dish was Golubstzi (phonetic spelling of the Russian pronunciation) for cabbage rolls. This photo is from another time we had this dish. I forgot to take a new photo on Friday night.
Our son and daughter in law were celebrated in Northeastern Washington, too. We couldn’t be there but they sent us this photo from their celebration with their Birthday Cookie!
For our boys, our dil and the rest of our family who have birthdays in January we pray this special blessing from the Lord…
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26 (ESV)
I’m linking up to ABC Wednesday started by Mrs. Nesbitt and administrated by Roger and a team of volunteers. Thank you!

Happy Birthday, All of you! We have a family birthday this month, too–Son #2 on the 19th.
A collective Happy Birthday to all your family members! I like your Russian celebratory dinner–it is very much like the ones my Ukrainian Grandmother would make. Your matryoshka dolls are so pretty–I have a much smaller set.
Happy birthday to all of your loved ones!! January is a big month for you! The celebration looks like lots of fun!
What a happy ‘B’ post this is. I will have to check out your new alphabet party!

Our extended families were never as large (as blessed) as yours … but when our kids were small we lived near all of both families in our home town in Eastern Washington. Bill’s “side” celebrated family birthdays once a month and I think there were at least two to celebrate every month. Good memories.
You set a gorgeous table, Ellen! How fun! We have lots of birthdays, too. I feel as if I am filling cart after cart for the grands on Amazon. I hope you are staying warm and enjoying your January still! (BIG HUG!)
January seems to be the month for family birthdays (ten in our immediate family). Love the wayyou celebrated and the wonderful photos…
January is birthday month in our family too.

Loved your idea of using Babuska dolls to go along with the Russian food. I have a nice collection of them and can’t wait to do this the next time I prepare a Russian meal for the family.
A very happy birthday to all of them. What a beautifully dressed table !
