Like I've said before. We've got a big family...so it's always someone's birthday! A great excuse for us to get together and party!! Friday A.M. Julie was awakened very early(!) by her friend JJ. She lives far, far, away...and drove over to deliver an album Julie's friends had made for her...of letters of encouragement, scripture, and pics of good times! Thanks JJ ...not only did you make Julie's day..but her mommy's as well. That was an awesome gift! Then the ladies of the household along with Mel and our one gentleman (Cade) had a birthday luncheon (forgot to take pics!!) at our new fav place...The Elephant Bar. Thanks Mom Jo! Julie then proceeded to the mall to spend birthday $$...before her hot date that night...with her dad :) Saturday night the immediate family got together for our traditional dinner honoring the Birthdaree. All 3 little girls wrote Julie "letters" explaining why in their own words they love her, and thought she was a good sister. Their words were priceless!! Out of the mouths of babes!! The night went off without incident...even when Leni threw a fork AT Kristin and hit her in the head with the prongs. (Surely now people...if you know K the least little bit...would see that this was probably a provoke!! on her part! It was...) Then Katie and Cade got into a verbal war that went something like this. "My MOMMY" as Katie holds onto my leg while shouting at Cade. Cade runs to Mel..grabs her leg and yells "MYYY MOMMY!" This goes back and forth with increasing volume while adults laugh....until we'd had enough. Right now, they either love each other (loudly) or strongly dislike each other (even louder). It's funny. The night ended (while Carolina played) with a giant wrestling match and Katie showing us the fine art of ballet. Obsessed,obsessed is she. :) All in all...a great night....and a great birthday honoring a wonderful daughter!
