Happy birthday!

Faith's birthday is the first birthday celebrated in our new house! Though the day was already half gone and filled to the full with memories, it was still an enjoyable celebration with family as we had our traditional cook out lunch and gift giving.

These candles were a gift from our Aunt Carmen.

Faith got her 1914 tea dress done the day before so she could wear it to the morning events. The orchids were a gift from Christianna and Grace.

Uncle Paul and Aunt Lucy came,

as did Uncle Warren and Aunt Myrt.

Here she is in her newly made peasant dress trying to light her candles that were supposed to never go out but because of the wind these never started!

Blueberry cobbler, Stawberry glac'e pie and Cherry cheese cake! Yummmm!

Our Aunt Kathy from Utah sent this card to Faith. She is very talented in making cards and we always anticipate receiving and treasure these special cards on our birthdays!

Faith is a very special person and one who adds such life and enjoyment to our family! A true firecracker she is as there is usually never a dull moment when she is around! Her devotion to her Lord and her care and perseverence in many things are treasures to our family and we love her dearly! Happy 23rd (not 18!) birthday Faith Ann!
