Happy Birthday, Katharina!!!!!!!!
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for three years with such a darling, wonderful little girl!
Kate informed me as I put her down for a nap just a few moments ago that she would never be two again. Oh, it hit me like a ton of bricks! Did I enjoy her enough? Did I do all I could to show her Christ’s love through me? Did I pray for her enough? How I long for less regrets at birthday number four!
We celebrated yesterday, since Mamaw and Papaw had to leave last night. We started the day off with her favorite breakfast. Biscuits and gravy, of course, being a southern gal! We have a tradition of putting candles in their breakfast. You just can’t blow out candles too many times, you know!
In the afternoon we went to the park for cake and ice cream. Lots of sweet memories….
See, I really was there!
Here is the well known “everyone line up in front of the cake” picture:
And the “opening presents” pictures:
What a day!!!!!!
