So for Mahalia's 3rd birthday party, she requested everything be blue . . . and so we did it up blue - VERY blue. There were blue suckers, blue balloons, blue cake, blue pinata, blue outfits, blue bags, blue cake & blue presents. It was great fun.My favorite memory was watching her face as the candles were lit & the song began . . . she belted out the "Happy Birthday" song with the rest of us & was so very excited about the whole thing. She'd been rehearsing it for months & this was her big moment.
Remembering back to her birth, I'm still amazed at the gift of life - ALL of life . . . the fun blue parties to celebrate life & the not-so-fun blues moments of heartache. Mahalia Joy, you are named well & I'm so grateful that God gave us you. You are pure delight & I celebrate your life!
