7 years today

 Happy Birthday to my sweet, sassy,sister.  Twirly, whirly girly on her 7th Birthday!

My first portal to "life as a vapor".  Sigh

She's in it for the cake. The girl loves some sugar.  She requested orange cupcakes. I decorated with buttercream frosting. 

She was elated to have a special friend come celebrate with us.

She's been anticipating this day for 364 days.  In October she informed me that her birthday was "getting close, it is only 6 months away".  Glass half full. :)  In December she told me "I'd been thinkin bout my birthday, I think we should make some plans. What theme do you think we should go with mom".  We went with flowers.

Oh Lord I pray for this sweet little lady. Draw her to you, grow her in grace, lather her with abundant mercy.  Give me grace to be a steward over, enjoy her and captivate her with your gospel that she might know the true and lasting joy of knowing our savior and the hope found in him.
