Happy Birthday Josie!

Josie turned 7 yesterday!

Seven years ago this precious girl entered this world and our lives. She is truly a gift from the Lord and I am blessed to be her mom. Josie is full of life and smiles. She is full of creativity and can usually be found creating a book or a picture or a paper iPod. She loves to have tea parties and is a wonderful hostess. God has great plans for this girl, I just know it. She is just bursting with potential.

Yesterday was a big day and a special day as we celebrated Josie's birthday. Early in the day Grammy brought over cupcakes for our mid-day celebration.

(I am so sorry about the changing picture sizes, Photobucket is not co-operating with me this morning!)

At lunch time Josie and I picked up Josie's friend Haley and we went to Emma's Rose to have a special tea party. We had a wonderful lunch of finger sandwiches, scones with cream and jam and cake. The tea was very good, too!

They even had a sweet little hat for Josie to wear because she was the birthday girl. We so enjoyed having Haley join us for tea. The girls were perfect little ladies and even tried sandwiches that they had never tasted before.

We headed home and had celebration number two with Gramma and Aunt Dreama. There were lots of presents and laughs. Here is Josie with her new American Girl doll, Mia, from Gramma:

After supper we had celebration number three with Grammy and Pop. Grammy made a beautiful tea pot cake with her friend Mary Jane. They did a fantastic job on the cake and Josie loved it.

Grammy and Pop also gave Josie the real tea pot in the picture. The cute outfit she has on is from Gramma. Josie also received lots of craft supplies, from both Gramma and Grammy, so she will be set to create many masterpieces for a long time.

We had a wonderful day celebrating this wonderful girl. I am so enjoying getting to know Josie as she grows in grace. She has a heart for the Lord already and easily memorizes His Word. She is a blessing and an encouragement to me.

I look forward to the next year with my Josie, and for hopefully many, many years to come.
