Amelia is 19!

How did this baby...

turn into this beautiful girl SO quickly?

God's grace is SO amazing!!!

Amelia had around 25 of her closest friends last night
for a birthday party...

They ate, hung out, played Just Dance, had a bonfire,
and watched movies until very late...



We sang Happy birthday and ate cake.



The littles loved having all these kids over!


Today after church our family all came for lunch
(yeah Josh and Savannah were here too!)
and we all celebrated again with cookie cake!!!


It has been a wonderful birthday weekend
even with all the rain...
good thing about this is~
the lake is filling up for the summer!!! :)

I think I will say the same thing I said about Amelia last year...

  4. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMELIA!!! I thought it was so neat that her cake said "Fran." My nickname is Fran and that's pretty much all my family calls me! Too cool! :)

  6. I also love the name Amelia Frances. I remember reading that Frances was Scott's mother's middle name and maybe someone from your side, too. (My sister-in-law chose a middle name that was used on both sides of the family for my nephew; I think it's a lovely idea.) Looks like Amelia had a fun birthday weekend!!
