15th Birthday

 Dearest Joshua David, Grace Elizabeth, Faith Olivia, Jacob Samuel, and Jeremiah William- 

"For it is by GRACE you have been saved, through Faith- and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God" 

Ephesians 2:8 (NIV)

Happy Birthday Grace!  I can't believe this little blessing is already 15 years old!  🎂🥰  

I loved getting to spend the day together!  🥰  For breakfast we went to NY Bagel and Deli.  Then, we had so much fun at Aloha Safari Zoo where the animals came right up to the van!  🐐  We fed them and saw animals up close on the walking part and the drive thru part!  We had so many laughs and I took photos!  We had lunch at IHOP and then this afternoon was spent painting at Klaystation.  🎨  Grandpa Jim, Uncle James, and Gigi met us there.  Grace, you painted a party pig.   Joshua, you painted a leprechaun.  Faith, you painted a strawberry.  Jacob, you painted a dog.  Jeremiah, you painted a cactus.  Once the paint dries in the kiln they will call me to pick up the clay pieces for you all.  

We opened presents once home and played an Agatha Christie inspired murder mystery card game .... Joshua was the murderer and Faith was the accomplice .... they won!   Then we watched a Miss Marple well past bed time!  

Happy Birthday Grace!  We love you!  👧😍

God is good!  😀

Sleep tight little ones!

I love you all so much!
