My first baby girl turns 16!

A quiet day to celebrate my Marie.

Not only was her cake choice perfection,

but, her choice for dinner was exquisite.

The girls made her thoughtful cards.

Tabby bought her a super plaque for her room.

And her own guitar.

As life just marches on and we reflect on what has been, it makes imagining what might still come next to impossible.

Just trusting this lady’s life to the One who made her and praying for her future.  ♥

A very covid party…

Celebrating with William this year also meant getting to go to a party center for the first time since this whole “pandemic” started.  We had to wear masks, but otherwise it was celebrating as normal.

After pizza and cake in the building, we got to play arcade games and use the outdoor attractions.

Mr. Hoyt took Katriel on the go karts.

Hanny was surprised to find some of her HCTC friends are also William’s friends.  They did some mini-golf.

Even I rode the bumper cars…

It felt so good to celebrate William’s milestone AND to do real life things!!!
