Katie turned 21 on Saturday so we had a few families and several of Katies friends over on Monday to honor her for her special day. A highlight of the evening was when her "popie" (daddy) wrote her a surprise song and sang it while everyone was gathered to share some thoughts with her. He spent the afternoon up in our bedroom working on this song for her....it was so thoughtful! Of course I cried, I think Katie shed a few tears too. She did say it was the best birthday present ever! (we hope to try to post the song if we can figure out how add it to our blog). Several people took time to honor Katie with words of encouragement, which is always a special time for birthdays around here.
As I was reflecting back on the evening I was reminded of Gods kindness to our family. He has blessed Katie , and all of us, with such dear friends . We are so grateful for how God has filled our cup to overflowing with people who love, encourage, exhort and pray for us. Thank you all who have become such wonderful examples to our family as well as extrodinary friends - We love you all dearly!
The next post we hope to share the "group gift" purchase which I hope you'll enjoy. Thanks again for all you who helped to make Our Little Girl's Day Special!! Here are some more pictures of the evening spent together......
