Beach AND Birthday!!!!!

AHHHH!!! What a great vacation at the beach. Celebrating Trevor's birthday in Gulf Shores was the best ever. Our handsome young guy turned 9. What a gift he is. Celebrating and vacationing along side of us were our very good friends The Schmidt Family. We had theee best time ever. Holly, Trevor, Lake and Dawson surfed waves, swam, played video games and just all enjoyed great fun. Us adults just enjoyed each others company. Taking turns chasing Alice around was hectic at times but she is just a bundle of fun...!!!! The McKeigs were tons of fun, too. It was just great!!!! We stayed at Gulf Shores Plantation.
It is good to be home, no doubt. Until......

An official teenager...Holly is 13!!!!!

Happy Birthday to Holly (birthday was April 18). She is officially a teenager. Her request this year was to have banana bread for breakfast. This recipe is from her former (precious) youth pastors wife, Christi. I actually made them into muffins and they were topped with pink frosting.
She also received her long awaited duffel bag she has wanted. She also received the large cosmetic , along with her 5th year in a row trip to Build-A-Bear , this new addition to her collection has been named Lola.
I think it is so precious that she still wants to do this kind of stuff. Her choice of restaurant was Sticky Fingers in Chattanooga. We had a wonderful day celebrating our very treasured young lady. She is so worth it. We love you Holly!!!!!
