How Can I Ever Thank God Enough?

She's the love of my life.  Today's her birthday.  Birthdays are a big deal around our house.  Celebration was one of the practices Yahweh taught His people via the festivals He instituted.  God sanctioned playing hooky. Resting and party and celebrating are holy and spiritual work. Partying was a part of the Jesus Way, as well.  We follow a Savior who loves to party. 

So, we clear the schedule and pull out all the stops on birthdays. 

The girls and I have got some serious fun planned today.  It's time to celebrate the life of my favorite person in the world.  The goal today is for her to fall into bed tonight exhausted from sheer, unadulterated joy.

After phase one of the birthday gameplan was complete this morning, Belle ran up to me, squeezed me has hard as she could, and yelled, "We have the greatest family in the world!"  Life is good. 

Phase two is a "Go!"  A special "girls only" Mom party at Ponderosa, the home of our great friends Bruce and Jennifer Williams.
