Christmassy Birthday!

My sister's birthday is today. We had a wonderful day celebrating!

First stop....Zhender's, in Frankenmuth, for chicken birthday dinner!

We ate far too much yummy food!  It was awesome.  Of course, at Zehnder's you end your chicken dinner with ice cream with a toy animal on top!
One of our favorite things! Dad is looking good.

After we stuffed our tummies, we went to Bronner's the biggest Christmas store in the world to pick out our yearly ornaments!  We will reveal our picks in an upcoming blog.  

We had a good laugh over the Christmas bride and groom tree!

So many beautiful ornaments to choose from!

After enough Christmas to get us through to next year, we went to Auntie's favorite place on the planet...The Cheese Haus in Frankenmuth.  Of course she bought her favorite...cheese curds.   She was so happy in cheese heaven!

Then to our house for cake, presents, and a classic Christmas movie, Home Alone.  We could not have had a more perfect and fun day!  We hope she had a special day and felt so much love from all of us.  Next year, she will be spending her birthday somewhere else on this earth as she will be on her year long missions trip.  We are so excited and proud of her; but we are just going to miss her so much.  Hopefully, this birthday was full of enough memories to carry her through her next.  We love you, Jenn, more than words could ever express!  May this coming year be more blessed than ever before! 

Numbers 6:24-26

New International Version (NIV)

²⁴ “‘“The Lord bless you
    and keep you;
²⁵ the Lord make his face shine on you
    and be gracious to you;
²⁶ the Lord turn his face toward you
    and give you peace.”

GET JOY!
