SURPRISE! Happy 18th Birthday Blog Party, AmandaWow...so you are the big 1-8. I am still in awe of the years that have passed since those pictures of me standing with Dad outside Grandma's in NM when I was expecting you. We had no idea what this day would bring. We had no idea how blessed we would be to have you standing here before us an18 year old young lady. It is amazing to me, what God has done in your life just in the past 3 years. I remember our new little girl in that fluffy blue dress at Thanksgiving, and the little girl splashing around in the puddles at Grandma's shop. The little girl walking around in Daddy's shoes and lifting up your 2 year old hands to praise the LORD. It's all there - all of those memories. They are all packed in there... in the back of my mind. They are a comfort and a joy as well as a sadness of how quickly time passes.
Well, too bad... this is your birthday, but it is my Mom day! This is the day that 18 years ago I became a mom. The mom of a precious little beautiful daughter. I can give you no greater gift than the one you already have: the gift knowing Jesus as your Savior and the pressing need to know Him and the Father more.
Now, on with the SUPER Blog Party BASH!
OK, so I know you love Superman, and we have been doing this for a few years now... decorating with Superman... I thought maybe we would decorate this time with SUPERGIRL SUPERANGEL
Welcome all of Amanda's guests! Today we are celebrating her 100 and eleventieth birthday... er, no.... um, her 18th birthday. Let's have some fun! I know you're 18, Amanda, but you are never too old to play some games... or climb up walls or... throw knives? So, everyone grab a glass of punch, and let's play some party games!
Alrighty... who's going to sing along? You do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around.... that's what it's all about....
Ok then, now, let's start the music....... da-dum-da-dum.... ...... da-dum-da-dum.... ...... slow down.... hold on..... ok.... da-dum-da-dum.... STOP! Did you get a chair? Ok, you're out if you didn't get a chair.... Here we go.... da-dum-da-dum....
And let's not forget about Pin the Tail on the Donkey! Let's see... ok, now... blindfolds everyone... did you all get a tail? How about you, did you get yours? Fix your blindfold... I know you can see through that... here, let me help you. Alright, spin, spin... and GO! Put the tail up there... ok. How'd you do?
Ok... next game - are you getting tired? Can I get you some more punch? alright then, now for the Pinanta! C'mon... I know you all wanna take swing at it! It's loaded with candy.... Blindfolds again.... Ok... here's the stick. Now... hold on, wait a minute, we have to spin you around... ok, 1.... there's 2... one more time, 3... ok.... now go ahead... swing up. oh, you missed it try again.... good try... next!
Ok... everyone get something to drink. Here comes the cake. Sorry I didn't make it myself. It does have a pink SuperAngel symbol on it though... and it's 1/2 chocolate and 1/2 white. There's ice cream too. All together now: Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy Birthday, Amanda-a-aaa Happy birthday to you!!!!
Alright, we'll cut the cake and get it served; Jocelyn and Rachel, grab those gifts over there. Gather 'round everyone, Amanda is opening her gifts! Amanda, go ahead and start opening them. Eric get the camera. Hannie, hold onto Lucy. Down, Isaac and Caleb... we want to see too!
Well, you know you are hard to buy for, but I think this is like the one you were telling me about. Just so you don't have to wait 20 minutes for the batteries to recharge to use the cordless mouse... a SUPERMAN mouse!
Giddy-up!
