Our Birthday Girl!

On Sunday May 8th, yes, Mother’s Day, our daughter Aleigha had her 7th birthday.

Here she is with her butterfly cake…

and here with her new bike we bought her for her birthday.

For her special day we took her out for breakfast with just Jacob and I. She chose to go to Black Bear Diner. Mostly because that is where Austin had chose to go on his birthday and she had never been before so it sounded fun to her. After church she wanted to have a barbequed hamburgers with salad and fruit salad. She spent the afternoon riding her bike in the driveway and hoped to be able to go for a bike ride when Ethan woke up from his nap, but by that time it had started to snow, then sleet, then rain so we decided to stay in doors. She had fun helping decorate her cake and playing SkipBo and Zilch. For dinner she wanted bbq pork sandwiches, potato salad, and pasta salad. We ate in the living room while watching a movie and of course had cake and ice cream for dessert.

She has brought so much joy to our lives. We are so thankful the Lord blessed us with her!
