Our girls are lucky enough to have a very, very large circle of people that care very deeply for them. Many of these people live within driving distance of us and we get to see them frequently (or maybe some might say not enough?) and for that we’re blessed. When it came time to plan Maggie’s family birthday celebration, and realizing that it fell on Easter, I felt the need to make sure that we had a sit-down meal all together.
I have many great memories from my childhood of both sets of grandparents, and extended family, celebrating Mother’s Day together, and it’s nice that we can give that same sense of family-connectedness to my girls as well. Many of our very favorite people came and helped to celebrate our girl on her birthday. My friend Nicole graciously provided salmon that her husband caught just a few days before, the local bakery made Maggie’s cake, and most everybody else filled in between. I joked that I out-sourced everything, and I’m well aware that everybody helped, provided and made the day especially special.
I’ve got one more batch of pictures from this day to share….they’re too sweet not to be their own post.
