Having FUN!!

It is so sad to believe that our girl is getting older. Sarah had a great birthday and enjoyed everything about it. On Thursday, which was her actual birthday, we gave her a scooter. She was so surprised and could not wait to ride it! She also received a package from my parents that had plenty of surprises in it and then for supper we celebrated with our Pastor and his family, him and Sarah share a birthday. On Friday we took her out for lunch to the restaurant of her choice, we all enjoyed that. The waitress even brought her a desert that was big enough for us all to enjoy! Finally on Saturday night Sarah had her birthday party with her friends. She invited 4 little girls from church and they had the best time playing together. We ate pizza, played a game, the girls played dress up and then we had birthday cake! We did something a little different this year...we asked that for a gift the girls bring a chritian book (age appropiate) and then I made up a story that included alot of the words left and right. The girls formed a circle and as I read they passed the gift (book) they brought to either the left or the right. At the end of the story which ever book each girl was holding that is the one that got to open. After Sarah reads them at home we are going to donate the books to our church library for all the girls to enjoy! Everything turned out so well. :) I have told of Sarah playing T-Ball, well last week (Wednesday) her picture was in the paper. It was such a great picture. It is a picture of her tagging someone out, a really great action shot. Wish I could post it.
