Birthday Bash

"O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever." Psalm 30:12

Every time we are invited to a birthday party for one of our friends' children, I say a little thank-you prayer. I used to be so afraid that everyone we know would have children, and they would all play together, but we would be forever without a child of our own to share in the fun. So, when I see my two enjoying the simple things, like splashing with my friends' children in a baby pool, or enjoying some birthday cake, my heart leaps with joy!

These are some pictures from Allie Jordan's 4th Birthday Party a couple of weeks ago.

Now, they decide to do some girl-talk in the shade...

And take a break from the action...

And grab a drink
