Bethany's 8th birthday!

We had a very fun birthday party recently for our Bethany's 8th birthday! We decided on a "Piggie and Gerald" theme, which are characters from books by Mo Willems. It was a fun theme, and I used lots of cute ideas from Pinterest. We had pigs in a blanket for dinner, along with chips, a veggie platter, and bananas (from "We Are in a Book!) We were glad to have friends and family here to celebrate our growing girl!

 A few of the decorations that I printed from Pinterest...

 Bethany wanted a fudge cake, so we bought a cake mix, which made things easier. Her daddy made a cute Piggie face cake for dessert.

 She got a kit to make this blanket for her birthday, so she helped me cut and tie it! It was fun to make together.
 The birthday girl with her #8 pancake made by Daddy. Love her toothless grin!
 She got one last gift on her birthday, since she had gotten other gifts at her party. A Dr. Seuss book, and she read it herself!
 The next weekend, her Nana and Auntie Allie came to visit and gave her their gifts then. She loves her new clothes and mini Hulks!

We sure love our girl and can't believe she is already 8!?!



Psalm 8:1
Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens.

John 11:1-3
Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. (This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.) So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one you love is sick.”

This is her life verse, since her name means, "Promise."
Acts 2:39The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”
