hard to believe my little lia is 9!
we had 2 birthday parties this year--
1 on her actual birthday that included gram and pop
as well as all of her favorites---
sweet and sour meatballs, green bean casserole,
strawberry salad, dinner rolls, and
chocolate cupcakes and vanilla ice cream
then, a couple days later we headed to the roller skating rink
she invited 6 little friends
and
they
had
a
blast
sofie invited a friend as well
and we welcomed the families of the girls to join us too
was quite a partee!
out of those 6 girls--
she has known 2 since birth
2 since kindergarten
1 since preschool
and 1 is a new friend from homeschool
this guy was so funny!
it was his first time roller skating
and he wasn't very good at all when we started out
held sam's hand for a long time and fell down a ton
but, he kept with it and by the end
he was skating all around
and turning circles
what a fun week celebrating our special girl!
she continues to be filled to the brim with compassion and generosity!
always willing to give when there is a need!
volunteers weekly at the nursing home and LOVES it!
such a huge helper to me!
a friend to the friendless without even trying!
prays for the opportunity to go on another mission trip!
god has big, big, huge plans for this little girl!
i just know it!!
