Joy's birthday party was SO sweet this year - a sweet party for a sweet girl. She blesses me beyond measure. I thank God for her and I'm blown away by the young woman she is becoming. At the age of 15, she is respectful, thankful, thoughtful, wise, hard-working and joyful. She always thanks me when I give her a ride to and from school. She never rolls her eyes at me or disobeys - much less disobeys defiantly. She gives her best to all she does - from making the highest grade in her Geometry A/P class to running several miles each week in her soccer class. She sings beautifully and carries herself just as beautifully. Thank you Jesus. I'm in awe of this daughter and friend you have so generously gifted me with!
The typical Burgin party has plenty of streamers.
Freedom took the initiative to be a greeter. He taped a note to his remote control car that said, "Welcom. Dont take off note."
A typical Burgin Birthday Party also has a plethora of balloons. Glory made Joy a turtle animal balloon and a fun balloon game spontaneously commenced in the kitchen. Somehow, Joy always ends up with a crazy balloon hat as well. Here's the crazy crew minus Glory.
Joy's not super crazy about sweet cakes, so she had a mini blueberry muffin tree for her birthday cake and candles.
And her friends brought thoughtful gifts.
They played a fun game of musical nail polish. Freedom was the one who started and stopped the music for the game. He took it VERY seriously. He noticed one of the girls really wanted ORANGE polish to land on her, so he took it upon himself to try to make that happen. After 3 tries, he got it and this is the smile he gave me upon success.
Sunday morning, we went to church. Love MY 15 year old girlie and love her precious friends!
