December 3, 2014 – Dayspring Disciples

My birthday fell in a Very Busy Week. Actually, it was the beginning of the second week of three Very Busy Weeks in a row.
So I cancelled it.
I appreciate very much that my family wants to celebrate my birthday, but the logistics of a big dinner one night just was as far from practical as gifting a chicken a bicycle. So we dropped it.

But that didn’t keep my family from blessing me and my mom from finding a way to let the kids enjoy my day. Because frankly, at my age (ahem), it’s more about them having fun than me, anyway.

This gift was made while I was on my cruise. My family (including my mom and sister) was invited for dinner at the home of some very dear friends. While they were all there, their hosts shared this very creative idea with my family and they all worked together to make this GORGEOUS bouquet. (Can you see all the traced hands, cupcake papers, and photos? And there is something sweet written on the back of each one!!!)

My mom also made cupcakes and had the girls help her frost and decorate them while I was doing school upstairs. She also brought all the stuff for making sub sandwiches, and cheetos, and cider for a yummy lunch.
