We had a little party for Mary with some friends. I made her a banana cake with fruit topping instead of frosting. It turned out really yummy!
Mary had a blast making balloon animals. She got out the balloons and instruction manual and made them all by herself. I was impressed. Her kitty is watching her make a mouse. She is mezmorized.
We did pin the tail on the llamma for the little ones.
Everybody was having fun!
12 candles...can it be possible?
Lots of party fun!
Celebrating her birthday at Grandma and Grandpa's
My dear Mary girl, I am so blessed when I reflect on your birth. What a special gift you are to us. We were past the age of what most people, including the medical field, thought that we would be able to have a child naturally, but with God all things are possible. I have walked a life that is way different than the one I imagined as a young person, but I would never change it now. Your daddy and you came to me in God's perfect timing and my life has been all the sweeter for it. You have grown into a lovely young lady, full of life and love and creativity. As you grow my message would be, wait for the Lord, no matter how long or short the wait will be. If we are following Him we have no worries for the future, He will give us all we need when we need it and we don't have to compromise to get it. He is a good and loving father and gives good gifts to His children. In this life, if we follow Jesus and the things he taught us, we will have persecution and trouble from the world. We are hard pressed on every side at times but we are to throw off those things and sins that weigh us down and run for the prize which is eternal life in heaven with him. Remember if we are wise with the little things (this short life compared to eternity) God will give us so much more (eternal life with him). Happy Birthday Sweetheart! I am so proud of you and look forward to see all that unfolds in your life!
