We’ve had the joy of celebrating third birthdays now for six children.  Every birthday for every child is special.  I grew up having MY birthday celebrated each year with our extended family and friends.  Although there is usually a good deal of work involved in throwing a party, I’m never tempted to ignore their special event.  The kids look forward to the fellowship.  And the cake?

Soup, chili, salad, bread.  It was yum on a dry, but chilly day. 

 

Johanna had a lot to say to  Mrs. Mrs. Fuhrman.

Katriel enjoyed her gifts.  Well, maybe not the clothes that much.  Somewhere in the last five kids I stopped worrying about how my little ones respond to gifts of clothes.  People get it. 

She got into “reading” the cards, as well.

A Bob and Larry cake.  I *think* all six kids have had this at least once.

Tabby and Poppy.

No more babies in our house.  Yup.  It makes me tear up.  I’ve been SO tremendously blessed.
