And what's a birthday, without a dog with a birthday hat on?!
Our star. And yes, she scored this one!!
I can't believe that 12 years ago today I gave birth to my amazing middle child. I honestly cannot put into words what a light she is in our lives. She is my child who VERY rarely is unhappy. She is always smiling or singing or dancing or skipping or acting or.....well, you get the idea.
My precious girl is growing up before our very eyes and today I pray many things for her. But above all else, I pray a prayer of thanks to our Lord giving us such a gift. We are so unworthy, yet have been entrusted to raise this awesome child to be a disciple for Him. I pray that she will always keep her carefree, beautiful spirit and use it to draw others to Christ.
We had a wonderful day today. It began with our traditional (not sure how it became a tradition) sausage ball birthday breakfast. After eating, singing and opening gifts, it was off to our middle's basketball game. The game was a great present in itself. Her team one 16-15 with 10 seconds left. My star scored 6 points and played so well!!
We followed the game by going to a local craft show (you know you liked it, honey!!) then a bit of shopping. Let me add here- DON'T EVER GO SHOPPING 2 WEEKENDS BEFORE CHRISTMAS!!!!! Better yet, don't step outside your front door- crazy I tell you. The birthday girl got to pick lunch, and we ended up at Atlanta Bread Company. Love that place!
We headed home for a low key rest of the day- some sewing, wood pile burning and don't forget a 9:45pm trip to our local Dairy Queen. You only live once, right?! Now to do a quick cleanup and head off to bed. Have a blessed weekend!!
In Him,
In Him,
