Birthday #2 - Harper is 6!
Now for Harper's birthday...And her first birthday home with us! This is such a special one....
Can't you just see it in her face???
Elon and Harper were given a (rather large) tent for their birthdays from one of their favorite people, Mrs. Mangum, so I let them sleep in it, which probably added to the excitement. They LOVE this tent!
It is also where Harper opened her gifts from her brother's and sister.
Harper remembered the cake we had sent her in China, and even though it was not her birthday when she received it...they put a candle in it and must have sang "Happy Birthday" to her. She kept telling me that she had a birthday before..."Remember mommy? You and daddy sent me a cake!" Here are some pictures of her receiving her cake from us in China...
I think she has gotten a little better at blowing out a candle (or maybe a little more excited)!!
Now for the birthday party...
I have to admit that I go a little over board for all of my children's "first" birthday. It started with Case, and now every one of my children will have a very special "first" birthday.
For those of you who have gotten to know Harper, may have an idea of what her favorite thing is in the whole world...
CANDY!!
I think it was the first English word she spoke :)
So she had a candy party! Since I have been trying to limit her sweet intake since she has been home I figured this would be the best birthday party for HER!
She loved it!!
She was so excited that her favorite people came and celebrated her - most of them anyway, unfortunately, some of her favorite people live in Florida and that is a little too far to travel :(
Her two little cousins had to suffer through the girlie party but they did not seem to mind...
How cute are they?
But I think her favorite thing was actually the presents! We did things her way and she opened the presents first :)
Thomas wanting to help out :)
She became bashful when everyone sang to her....
She really enjoyed the chocolate covered strawberries...yum!
And some painting...amazingly not one drop of paint on my dining room chairs!
Celebrating her is very easy....
Happy Birthday sweet girl,
We love you so much!!!
Zephaniah 3:17
The Lord your God is with you.
He is a hero who saves you.
He happily rejoices over you,
renews you with his love,
and celebrates over you with shouts of joy.
