More 14th Birthday Fun

This was daughter G's year for a family party (we switch off every other year with a family party and a friend party - though the birthday person does get to invite one friend to a family party). During dinner we played several rounds of "Telephone", here son G is starting one off by whispering a phrase in Uncle Brian's ear.



Here's where it got really funny! My dear father-in-law is quite hard of hearing, but he really wanted to participate too, so we all hummed loudly and stuck our fingers in our ears while my mother in law whisper-shouted the phrase to him.


It completely fell apart at this point, ending up sounding nothing like the original! We had some good belly laughs during this game.


On to the presents...... thanks Grandpa Dean and Grandma B! The sweater fits!


Canvases and paints from her friend.


Art/light desk from hubby and me.


We also gave her a room makeover, which will happen in June once school is out for the summer.

Happy, happy birthday G! You are a constant joy and delight to us. We are so grateful God made you, and made us your parents. We thought it was one of the happiest moments of our lives when you were born, but since then you have given us many more happy moments. We rejoice to know that you have trusted Christ as your Savior and your heart's desire is to live for Him. We love you, and pray for you daily, sweet girl.


The birthday kids: My father in law, 93. Our daughter, 14!
