"You are not here to live a mediocre to average life; you are here to live an amazing life, a miraculous life. If it weren't for your challenges, there would be no miracles. You must do that which seems impossible, for it is only in the impossible that miracles are had." - author unknown, but very respected
Charity's birthday, like so many this year, falls on a Wednesday so we knew we needed to celebrate before. Couldn't do it Tuesday either so Monday it was! We really miss FHE when we do parties on Monday, but it was okay. She chose to go to Applebee's for her birthday party. This ended up being the lesser chaotic of all three parties we've had this year! I was pleasantly surprised! They were so accommodating of our pretty large group (16 people). They put our ice cream cake in the freezer, even brought out extra plates and forks when we served it and basically ran themselves ragged the entire evening just for our dinner! Even sang to her! It was a lot of fun. I wish only that I could have sat closer to everyone especially Heidi and Grandma Ruthie and Grandpa Russ. But ya can't win 'em all, right?! I did get to sit by Nate and my Dad- it was fun to play with Molly with him and feed her everything in sight (not really feeding her because she usually dropped it before she could get a real bite). Charity seemed to enjoy all the attention and had a good time. I think she feels like a big girl lately. I didn't get to sit real close to her either, so I don't know all that went on on her end of the table, but it was fun to watch her beam even from a distance. I hope she knows how much we love her and that she has a lot of support from a lot of people. 3-7-16
