January is a big birthday month at this old house. Our oldest son was born on January 19th and his younger brother arrived two years later on January 16th. My younger brother was born on January 22nd and my youngest niece, Hope, was born on January 25th.

I set Joshua’s birthday table around a Washington state sports theme. Since we were celebrating the night before the NFC championship game here in Seattle I added some Seattle Seahawks touches to our Seattle Sounders Soccer themed table.


The Seahawks and the Sounders have similar team colors which made it easy and fun.






Our boy was happy with the table setting, the Ribeye steaks and his special request dessert. We had such a good time celebrating Josh.
Josh and Laura gifted me these beautiful illustrated ABC verse cards at Christmas and I’ll share the verse for letter B, too.

On Tuesday you can click on over for more ABC Wednesday posts on the letter B. Thank you to Denise Nesbitt who started this meme and to the team of bloggers who manage it every week.
Ellen, you are gifted in the area of table setting.. Extraordinary! I think I spelled it right?
Thank you, Mother Hen!
What a gorgeous table you set! Happy birthdays all around! My family in Washington are on Cloud #9 after that Seahawks win!
Wow! So appropriate for ABC Wednesday – are there 26 cards? That’s you sorted out for this round then! lol!
B is definitely for birthdays…especially in January, it seems. And you know how to make them special! I just wished you lived next door, so I could ‘borrow’ things from your storehouse on occasion!
Lovely birthday table, – I understand the SeaHawks were simply splendid too!
LOTS of January BABIES!
ROG, ABCW

Sounds like you have lots of good reasons for celebrating in January! Your son’s birthday celebration seems full of delicious food and lots of fun…and a lovely table too! Good times!
B is also for Beautiful (table scape)!!! January is also my birthday month. I love how you celebrate and I wonder what was Josh’s special dessert request?
Wow! a bunch of celebrations in a month.
Happy birthday all around!

Ellen, that is the coolest birthday table setting ever because it reflects something of the honored birthday boy!
