It may just be the season of life we are in right now, but birthdays are having there way of sneaking up on us!
This past weekend we were so privileged to celebrate not one, but two birthdays!
Addie Mae’s birthday was on Sunday, and Grant’s birthday was on Monday.
We invited some of our favorite people over on Saturday at the last minute, had some good food and even better fellowship!
Addie Mae chose grilled fish, basil sun-dried tomato fettuccine, and tossed salad with ranch dressing.
David, Kay, the babies and Hannah came over to join us!
Our first get together in our new home!!!
It was fantastic.
We had not seen Hannah since the weekend she helped us move to Twin Oaks.
How I have missed this beautiful girl!
Grant and Addie Mae chose to share a dessert this year, and wanted to have grasshopper pie like Tate had!
Once again, we had no candles!
But we sang to them anyway!
I think the mint chocolate chip ice cream dessert was a hit!
At least with our little Miss E, anyway!
Eliza struggled SO much Saturday night.
I really truly thought it was just way too loud for her!
What we did not know was that she was getting sick.
The next morning she woke up broke out in chicken pox.
Our poor sweet baby.
On Sunday we ate like kings again for Grant’s birthday!
He chose steak, shrimp, Mexican pasta salad, asparagus wrapped in bacon, and yogurt fruit salad.
Our meal was rather long and hodge podge!
We were blessed with several neighbors that live on our road coming down to meet us during our lunch!
I did manage to take one photo!
Of the birthday boy!
The other day when I was teaching Tate and Eliza school one morning, my mind and heart were flooded with memories of teaching Grant and Addie Mae school in the same way.
Wasn’t that just yesterday?!
Now they are adults.
The Lord has given them the best hearts!
One evening right after we moved in to Twin Oaks, Blake and I looked across the dinner table at these two with tears in our eyes – they just bless us SO much.
What a privilege to be their parents.
Grant Evan and Addie Mae – keep seeking the Lord and living for Him!
There is no greater joy than knowing that you both walk in truth!
Happy, happy birthday to you both!
We love you SO much!!!
