Celebrating Birthdays




We LOVE celebrating birthdays in our family.  Here are all the girls in my family, except Alyssa and my mom, celebrating Erin's birthday.  We all go out to lunch at a restaurant near the ocean and just enjoy each other.  We go around the table and each share what we love about the one whose birthday we are celebrating.

Life is a wonderful and precious thing.  Family and friends are precious.  Never take them for granted.  Take every opportunity to let them know how special they are to you, even when it isn't their birthday.

Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart. 
I Peter 1:22

Yes! A family that loves each other is such an excellent gift! I am so blessed to get along wonderfully with my siblings -- it is a beautiful example for my children as they watch me interact with my own siblings with love and joy.

May you have a blessed Christmas!!

What an awesome tradition! My daughter, mother and I are the only women in families with many, many boys, but that looks wonderful!
