Our little girl turned seven whole years old on the 31st
. She got a huge teddy bear from CosCo
. She is such a little bundle of joy
whom we didn’t expect and who arrived by emergency c-section. Now she’s a young lady plotting what she might do with the money grandpa got her for her birthday
and blows out candles on her cake with exuberance
. Her birthday was spread out over a couple days because we attended a wedding on New Year’s Eve. The weather has been quite frosty in the mornings
but somehow it’s clean and fresh for me
. The frost crystals are huge
! I’m hoping this road leads to spring
! My Mom got a gift from us that reflected her travels abroad…many that my family and I have shared with her
…see? Gabby wasn’t alone receiving gifts! The wedding was well done but I am glad Lovely had her skill and equipment to cover it. Me? I just liked the beautiful candles at our table
…they really captured the moment and created a magical atmosphere
. Day two of Gabby’s birthday celebration included a meal at her favorite restaurant with a few friends
…looks like a wild bunch don’t you think
? Love brought some goofy mustaches for them…they seemed to like the idea
. The meal was a family favorite of various types of sushi
followed by some of Gabby’s rainbow cake
. It was a good couple days!

I thought you'd appreciate the food we had my friend! It's truly a delightful thing to enjoy! I'm so glad that my children have learned to appreciate such things! Thank you so very much for the birthday well wishes...Happy New Year to you too!
DeleteA belated Happy Birthday, sweet Gabby. Sure was a nice festive occasion with good food, friends. I love the big teddy and the delish looking cake.
ReplyDeleteMornings are frosty here too, but gonna be warming up some.
Thanks for the b-day wishes my friend, it was a festive time indeed. It's going to be in the mid-forties for us then dip to the teens for awhile when Friday comes along. I'll take any good I can get!
DeleteYou certainly captured some wonderful memories of Gabby's birthday. It's hard to believe Gabby is seven. Watching her grow up like watching Rhonda's daughter Emma grow up as well. Amazing how wonderful the blogging family can be. Well I am heading south at the end of the week. I have been so busy trying to get all the loose ends and packing done. My brain just doesn't function like it use to. There is a a lot of detail to remember when closing the house completely with no heat. We are getting our big last dump of snow this week so should have about 2 feet by the time we leave to head south. Won't have internet for a few months. May you and your family stay healthy through the winter months and get out and get some of that sun when it shines at your place. Hugs Carrie
ReplyDeleteI know you've sure had a lot on your plate my friend. There's nothing like moving to throw a wrench into everything in a person's life. Moving is one of the top ten most stressful things a person can do in their life or so I've heard. I'll miss you my friend, may God's grace surround all that you do...hear from you when you get back!
DeleteHappy birthday to Gabby!!!
ReplyDeleteOne of our daughters shares a birthday with Gabby! Miss V has just turned 9.
