On August 27Th, 2009 my little flower Angel turned six years old...Wow!!! When did this happen? I can still remember the day we received her referral picture. My first words were Thank-you Jesus...she is so beautiful. We fell in love instantly and I am still in awe of this precious child God gave us. She is in my heart and in my soul. Through her I know God's love for us.
Angel celebrated her first birthday with her little friends in China. I have often thought about what it was like for her?
Was there a cake? Any balloons? Did someone hug her? Smile at her? Wish her a Happy Birthday? Well, at least I know that her "BEST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD" was there...her Dahlia and has been by her side for every birthday since...and will be there for many more to come. I thank God for the special bond Angel and Dahlia have and I am so grateful to the Malfara family for joining us each year to celebrate Angel's birthdays and sharing in the value of true friendship with our family.
Birthday parties are very important in our house. When one is over Angel is already planning next years party. She is a hands on organizer, from making her own decorations to planning the entertainment. She chooses her theme and cake and of coarse her special outfit for the day.
Angel is the perfect little hostess at all her parties. She appreciates all her presents. She remembers who gives her what and cherishes ever thing down to the gift bags. She keeps all her cards and often wants me to read them to her. She loves to reminisce about her birthday parties and loves to look at the pictures.
I think some would call this "spoiling her"...I prefer the words "a little overindulging"
She deserves it all!! I believe this creates the greatest of memories for her and she will cherish these moments all her life...I know I will. I still remember the big Birthday parties that my parents had for me and the happiness I felt.
This year Angel did not get her usual huge Birthday bash...we had just come home from China with Georgia. In China I told her that I didn't think a big party would be possible this year...her comment "That's O.K. mommy I got my baby sister as a birthday present this year!!! Wow what a kid!!!
So of coarse, Mom feeling a little guilty did throw two smaller parties together...one for the family and one for the Hunan girls and company...and of coarse her BFF Dahlia was by her side at both.
Angel also chose to share her spotlight with her baby sister and asked that the family sing Happy Birthday to Georgia as well. Georgia turned 1 in China on July 9 2009.
I know this post is really late...but as I always say...it is never too late!!!
So, here are some birthday pictures celebrating our Angel's life...
