Almost a month ago, we spent a lovely evening celebrating Rebecca's birthday. If you've been following our blog very long, you may remember that some of our birthday traditions include having a meal and dessert of the birthday person's choosing, sharing what we appreciate about the birthday person, gifts (us children usually pool $$ on gifts), and a game chosen by the birthday person.
Enjoy a recap of Rebecca's Party:
Rebecca requested a violin cake (after months of considering what kind of cake she should have:). This beautiful cake was the result of Mother's + Mrs. Adam's creativity. Oh, and the cake was Chelsy's amazing recipe.
Rebecca was thrilled!!!
Gifts are so fun.
Hudson helping read a card.
Clothes are always appreciated by girls, right?:)
After dinner and gifts, we headed outside for a game of "piggy wants a motion". It was such great fun!
"And Jesus increased in wisdom in stature, and in favor with God and man." [Luke 2:52]
That is what we wish for Rebecca's next year of life. Well, maybe not the stature part- some of us are rather sad to see "our baby" growing up so quickly! But we do love seeing her becoming such a delightful young lady.

awww....thank you for sharing! I love all of her expressions! So sweet!
ReplyDeleteHave to ask where you learned piggy-wants-a-motion... We learned that game from some friends who were taught by an elderly woman. We taught all our friends and I know they went on to teach most if their friends. Fun game!
ReplyDeleteHappy late birthday Rebecca! Love you, girlie!
ReplyDeletePS I was looking for something in my closet the other day and found a sweet Strawberry Shortcake picture you colored for me....it made me smile! :) Thanks!

Bethany-
ReplyDeleteI think my parents learned it growing up. Maybe it's one of those "old time" games? We've loved it so much over the years!

That's neat! Its a game worth passing on to the next generation ;)
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are so sweet and the picture of Hudson reading the card to Rebecca pretty much melted my heart. =) Love how the cake turned out for the Allison-in-the-making violinist. ;) So glad to hear that Rebecca had a memorable birthday and thankful for her sweet friendship! =) Blessings!
