Birthday Party at the Park












Today was one of those days that I wish would last forever... It was one of those days with our kids, our family, our friends that felt so perfect... straight from above... " Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights" (James 1:17) I feel like God just made this verse come completely alive to me today... It was one of those days that I looked at my kids and could hardly believe that they were really mine... that the Lord has more than blessed me by putting them in my life. They are the most amazing little people...

When we were opening gifts at our house after the party Halee had on some new sunglasses and a pair of princess dress up shoes that were twice the size of her feet and she was walking around the house with a smile and a glow that would melt anyone's heart... Siah has been talking about his cake for weeks now and today when he got his cake he sat in an oversized beach chair and tuned the rest of the world out and ate every last bite of that cake... There is a picture of it above... it's one of those moments that I will always love... i love how the simplest things just light up the lives of my kiddos... It doesn't take much to make their hearts soooo happy...

Thank you to all the people in our lives that love on our children and on our whole family... we are so blessed by each and every one of you... thank you for being a part of this VERY SPECIAL DAY each year when we celebrate the great gift that God has given us in our children... Thank you Lord for sweet days like this... :)

*Papaw (Joey's Dad) took some video of the party and opening presents that we will try to post in the next few days... so keep an eye out :)
