Elleonai Turns 6

Author: No Comments Share:

Happy birthday to our darling, Elle, who continues to be an example to us with her bravery for accepting challenges that test her mentally + physically, her fervent pursuit for friendships, and her unconditional forgiveness that chooses to see the greater sides of people, despite sometimes being treated unlovingly. We are so blessed by her affection, the plethora of bear hugs + random kisses. She is the color yellow ? in our home, with her shining smiles and joy- every day. We love you, little one. We pray your Bible verses over you and hope you continue to live your purpose with a smile.

We started the day reading her Life Bible Verses over her with her sisters and prayed for her new year.  We gave her sunflowers and let her open her gifts.  That day, we went to a church picnic and celebrated her birthday with some of her friends, then had dinner at the restaurant of her choice (which is usually Red Lobster, because my kids are obsessed with their biscuits and dip).  Then the next day, she blew out the candles on her cake, shared with her closest friends in church.  After lunch, she visited her Lolo Bio, right before we topped the weekend with their annual back to school overnight camp out, so she got to spend the whole afternoon and night with two of her best friends. 

Gosh, what a busy birthday weekend, but she was one happy little girl. 

Thank you, Lord for her life. You are good and Your love endures in this sweet little heart you continue to grow before us.
