We gave Anne an "Affirmation Party" with family and good friends as a recognition of her growing in maturity in soul and stature- which happened to coincide with her 13th birthday. This involved a lot of wisdom from some ladies, a lot of food, and a lot of kids watching what was going on!
Not sure what Judah's doing here...Ha!
Auntie Faith sent a special video and box of presents to go with it...
Doggone it, Christian must have been busy (i.e. not taking pictures) for Grace's talk, but it was very good and made me tear up. But here she is taping Faith's talk.
And me.
And Marmie's gift, which she loves--not sure what her face is responding to! :)
