Kate Majorie van Bastelaar, our sweet girl, is enjoying her birthday dinner celebration at home. I do feel bad for her, though. Christmas--the ultimate gift giving holiday--was only 13 days ago. Now she's celebrating the only other gift giving event of her year--not even two weeks later! And, on top of that, she's impossible to buy for, so we're all fruitlessly hunting for gift possibilities. :)
(Yes, that's a donut, not a cake. Despite its lack of traditional birthday dessert-ness, it did a good job of holding six candles.)
The kids don't get "kid parties" every year. They have 16 cousins--family birthday parties are kid parties! This year she celebrated with her cousin, classmates, and friends from church--and they had afternoon tea. Who doesn't love tea parties? They had fun making fans and sipping tea together. They even ate cucumber sandwiches and scones with clotted cream. All three grandparents came to help with the celebration, too.
Kate, we love you oh-so-much and are so thankful that God gave you to us. We pray that God will bless you--in many ways, but especially in your walk with Him. May you trust in Him for your salvation and strive to follow Him for all of your days.
Happy, happy 6th birthday, Katie!
