Happy Birthday Gathering

We gathered together and asked the Lord’s blessing for a evening of fun, celebration and activities. And He did bless us and keep us safe.

We ate, we played, we rode, we roasted, we laughed, we swang, we jumped, we petted, we blew, we jabbered, we ran, we opened, and…………………….

And we LOVED:

 

“Beloved, let us love one another. For love is of God and everyone who loveth is born of God and knoweth God. He that loveth not, knoweth not God, for God is love. Beloved, let us love one another.” 1 John 4:7, 8

Addison made the cake and frosted it with family favorite frosting recipe that hails from my cousin Patty. It truly is the best and gives white cake a wedding cake taste.
