Hugs, Kisses and Lots of Birthday Wishes

We love Birthdays
The Raabes do food and birthdays well. I have always made a big deal of celebrating my girls' special days. Now that Emma is out of the house I don't spend the week making all her favorite foods nor do I decorate her bedroom while she's sleeping. I guess Joe would find that quite creepy if I were sneaking in their house with balloons and streamers in the middle of the night. Instead we met at Emma's favorite Sushi place. I made Cherry Brownies and the family came together for laughs, stories and some special gifts. It's such a joy to celebrate the amazing woman she continues to become.

Look at that Glow


I was fortunate enough to be included in Emma's Friend Celebration
Does that mean I've hit a new level of acceptance? We hit up her favorite Taco place in Blackstone, Mula Mexican Kitchen and then walked across the street for Coneflower ice cream. It's was pretty cold to be eating that frozen deliciousness but oh so worth it! Some of these girls I have know for decades while others I met this year. Emma has found some great gals.

Happy Birthday Sweet Emma!!! Love, Mama


May blessings follow you through life wherever Christ may lead you. 
May love be right beside you, and joy and peace precede you. 
May God's Word light your path each day while grace and patience guide your way.
