Celebrating the Friesen Girls

January is not a down time in this family, with the number of birthdays we have.

Sometimes we take each one out for a treat,

sometimes we host a family gathering.

Lacey turned 13 on January 14th.

What a beautiful, sensitive and talented girl she is!

When you spend time with her, she does not fixate on herself,

but will always ask "how was your day?" or "what did you do today?"

This is in spite of her days being full, 

because she wants to do it all! 

I thought I'd focus on her for the cake

since becoming a teenager is rather significant,

but I didn't even get a photo of her.

She blew out those candles so quick! 

Kari's birthday is today.

She is beautiful and wonderful, always making those around her feel special.

Jade and Teddy's birthdays are coming up!

Jade is best at making us laugh and also very caring.

Last week we got to put the younger ones to bed one night 

and she got out a jar of names that she had collected.

She pulled out a name and prayed out loud for that person. 

So very special!

Teddy enjoys one on one time, baking, crafting or coloring. 

She is never in a hurry and does whatever she does very well.

We had a lot of fun getting ready for this party,

and so quickly it was over!

As I get older, I feel that brevity more and more.

My wish and prayer for these beautiful girls 

is that their hope will always be in the One 

who created them, each unique and wonderful.

May they wait on Him and soar!
