It was a fun day filled with.....
- Favorite foods: waffles and raspberries, grilled cheese sandwiches and apples, BBQ chicken, fried potatoes, green beans, garlic bread and lemon pie.
- Gifts: Homemade ones included a whole pioneer outfit for her doll complete with an original story by Mara and a bonnet for Megan made by me - The bonnet much to her father's chagrin (who would like to think we are normal) was worn all day - even while biking on the lane, going to the store and to church tonight. There were many other much enjoyed and appreciated gifts but the highlight was 2 baby ducks which Jonathan and Mara bought for her (with Jonathan's arranging and getting ready for them).
- Decorating: My girl who takes after me with a love for having things be made special was quite delighted to have us hang up streamers for her special day.
- Fun times with family and friends: All of our local family was able to come over to share supper with us before we all headed off for church to enjoy our time with our church family.
We are blessed that God choose to send Megan into our lives!
I love reading your birthday posts.
ReplyDeleteThat was exactly how I grew up - special homemade gifts and the fun of getting to pick the menu for the day!
I went home for my 27th birthday a few months ago and my Mama made my favorite dinner that I had always requested as a child.
Traditions and homemade things are truly what make special days special.
Happy Birthday Megan!
Happy birthday, Megan!
ReplyDeleteThose baby ducks are awfully cute against the yellow rain slicker.
