This past Thursday was Mama's 5oth birthday. Mark and I ran home for a day so that we could make the surprise party that us older kids threw together. Almost all of the crew were there and we're growing! Let's see...2 parents, 11 kids at home, 1 in college, 4 married with spouses attending, and 2 engaged with significant others attending...and that's not counting the 3 older kids that couldn't make it! I love my crazy big family and I get so excited each time we add a new addition...whether it's a brother or sister-in-law or a sibling or two!
And the woman who makes it all happen...Mama! She is the most organized, patient, loving, and godly woman that I know! For her birthday, we made a poster with a list of 50 reasons why we love her. With all of the kids pitching in to help, you can imagine the laughs that we had. She's amazing and the youngest 50 year-old I've ever met! I would be lying if I didn't say that I want to be like her when I grow up...and according to my husband, the resemblance has already started to happen!
