It’s Another Party!

November 22, 2006 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Minnesota Me, Special Events 4 Comments

Because…look who’s 4 today!

Last night when Daddy asked you and your sister, “How are my birthday girls?!” you replied, “I’m not the birthday girl yet.” Because you weren’t. Yet.

Happy Birthday to our very particular little girl! How we love you for your stubborn streak–and for your big brown eyes and your smile.

God knew what He was doing when He sent you to us right after your big sister–just two years and a day apart. And Mary knew what she was doing when she had me wait that extra day to have you, even though I was in labor throughout all of Maria’s 2nd birthday.

Our Blessed Mother knew that you would want your own party.

And so, on this beautiful feast of St. Cecilia, we thank God for the music that is our Avila–our little Avila Cecile.

We love you, Honey! Happy Birthday!

    Happy Birthday sweet Avila! My children and I will be praying for you today! My 4 yr old Katherine was very excited to see another 4 year old! (although she was equally excited to see your 6 yr old who loves purple, pink, polly’s and ponies!) Have a great party! (all your own!)

    Happy Thanksgiving Margaret!

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
