Birthday Palooza

We are gearing up for a fun filled two weeks here at our house. This week we celebrate Kara's 1st birthday on February 14th. We will have a party for her on the 13th so that we are not digging into any Valentine's Day plans for couples. We intentionally have made her birthday a separate event from Valentine's day, so there will be no heart cakes or decorations in our house for Kara's party. We want to celebrate the life God has given her, and the joy that He has given us in this first year of her life. I can't believe that it has been a year already!

Taylor's 10th birthday is at the end of this month, on the 28th. We are working on her plans for her party, and I really have to get on that. It is amazing to see what God has done in and through her in her short 10 years, and we are anxiously and hopeful for her future and His plans for her life.

The really cool thing is that mom is coming to be here for both of the girls birthday's. This is really special. We will get to have a nice long visit where we are not rushed to get all the fun and excitement in in just a few days. Pray for her as she makes the drive from Houston by herself. She will be stopping in Texarkana for the night on Wednesday, and will be here Thursday afternoon. I am sure her car will be loaded with gifts and goodies. (Who needs Santa when you have grandparents, right?)
