Happy Birthday Sarah!

My Dear Sister turned 18 this past Thursday!  I can't believe she is that old.  I want to think of her as just 8 of something.  When I look at her though, I see the lovely (she truly is beautiful!) young lady that has matured so much this past year or so. 

She has grown in so many different areas.  Her personality has strengthened into a young woman of sweet disposition.  She is a friend who is willing to encourage you to keep growing in the Lord.  She is a sister who is seeking to put others first.  She is a daughter who is becoming a great help and comfort to our parents.  She is a Princess of the Lord who seeks Him first above all.   Seeks His help and advice out in all areas of her life. 

When you first meet her, she might not say much.  She is a bit shy at the first meeting.  After she gets to know you- you can't keep her quiet!!!!  She loves having wonderful conversations with friends about important things in life.   She enjoys having a bunch of friends to have to chat with.

The wonderful day started out with Breakfast in Bed.  the family tradition we all enjoy.  We try to have at least one gift there, so we gave her the ones from us kiddos. 


(Don't you love the curlers!!!)


We then started getting ready for a wonderful Birthday Tea with her friends.


Here is the table spread with all the homemade goodies!





This is the Strawberry Soup Sarah made.  (it is a cool soup, really good!)


You can't have a tea without scones


Sarah made three different types of Curd. They were all yummy!

Sarah wasn't sure what the posing was about....


...so she smiled...

Then got the hang of it.

Mom had fun and started "fainting", so Sarah ran to get...

A fan.


Sarah, for the past many, many years, has always had rain on her birthday.  For some reason, this year she didn't.  We were all very bummed, but forgave her anyway. 

She did have a beautiful sunset that my camera hardly gives justice to...



Happy, Happy Birthday, Sarah!  You are a Princess of God's, and a delight to our family.  How boring we would all be without you!!!

I love you,
Rebecca
