Busy Weekend

This has been a busy weekend for our family. Thursday was Michaela's birthday. She turned 15.....scary to think that next summer she might be taking driver's ed. We asked her what she would like to do and she really wanted to go shopping and not have to rush. So we went to the mall and surprised her by meeting up with her freind Alyssa Zimmerman from church. They had a great time. When we picked them up we picked up dinner...Papa Murphy's by request. Then came home opened up presents and ate dinner with cheescake for dessert....yummy!!

On Friday I had another ssurpise for her. She came with Scott to Hobby Lobby and we met Anna Nelson there who came to our house and taught us how to make cards. It was a fun afternoon of laughter and creativity, I even tried my hand at a couple of cards and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was.

Then came the last and biggest surprise of all. Alatheia Larson came over to spend the weekend with us. The girls were very surprised which in turn suprised me as I thought I had totally given it away that she was coming over. They had a fun weekend just hangin out.

On Sunday, my parents came over and we were finally able to share our Japan vacation pictures with them.

Michaela, I hope that your birthday was special and memorable. I trust you enjoyed all the surprises we had for you. My pray for you is that God would truly bless you in the coming year and that you would continue to be faithful in your walk with Him.

Today is Natosha's birthday...she is turning 14 and is eager to go in and take her driver's test tomorrow for her permit. We have a few fun things planned for her as well. Those details coming later....
