Today, our Kara turned 5 years old! She had a few special friends over for "tea". It was SO neat how butterflies seem to become the theme of our table decore (notice the nice placemats, Kathy :). We woke early and made cupcakes and even ran to Salvation Army for teacups for all (several with butterflies on them, too) . . . All the gals played dress up, made pipecleaner bracelets, had tea, and decorated (and ate) cupcakes. Kara was a great little hostess, even allowing the "pirates" to invade her tea :)!!Tonight, as I lay rehashing the day with her, she had lots of questions about heaven. We talked about PawPaw and being with Jesus. She reminded me of songs she knew about "One Way God said to Get to Heaven. Jesus is the Only Way" and "Jesus Loves Me". She wanted to talk to Jesus about her own wrong choices and tell him Thank You for making her clean inside by dying on the cross. She immediately wanted to know if Daddy had talked to Jesus about that. After checking with him, she was eager to ask Keith and Jacob, too. What a sweet, wonderful way to end her birthday!!

How wonderful! I was just reflecting about my dad being in heaven with Kara's PawPaw. So thankful that we have a good God, who paid the price for us, so all of us can have a better than a fairy tale "ending".
So cute! What a great party!!! Thanks for having us! Adiryn had a great time and loved the bag of goodies you gave her:)
