Sara's Birthday Celebration

Psalm 100 
"Shout happily to Yahweh, all the earth. 
Serve Yahweh cheerfully. Come into his presence with a joyful song.
 Realize that Yahweh alone is Elohim. He made us, and we are His. We are His people and the sheep in His care. 
Enter his gates with a song of thanksgiving. Come into His courtyards with a song of praise. Give thanks to Him; praise His name. 
Yahweh is good. His mercy endures forever. His faithfulness endures throughout every generation."

Sara's birthday was beautiful. The sun shone bright, and so did she! I thank the Lord for such a lovely day, and the year to come for Sara!

Don't forget to take a look at my new page, "18 Things Learned ft. Sara" and "18 Things I love About My Sister" from me! I am SO happy that my sister wrote 18 things she learned in 18 years. We hope it will bless you!!


Her birthday cake was none other than... Mom's cheesecake! With raspberry sauce, of course. Isn't it beautiful?? I heard that it was absolutely delicious, too. But what would I know? I don't eat cheese :D


I knew I could count on Mom... She made vanilla cupcakes with raspberry buttercream icing, at least I had some raspberry sauce too! ;) 

The best thing about having a sister was that I always had a friend.

Sara was so thrilled with all of her presents... I love seeing her so excited as this! She is usually a pretty calm person. Example: She'll accept her presents with a subtle "aww! Really!?" compared to me: "NO WAY! HOW DID YOU KNOW??"


Our dad worked hard to accomplish this awesome lap desk!! Mom found the exact same stain color as the one on Sara's bookcase, so it looks perfect in her cozy bedroom. I just love how practical and professional it is! Thank You Jesus for a handy dad! :) Oh yes, and don't mind the cat, Sasha. She's just there, sleeping... zzz...

*Drum roll* My present to Sara! I made this cross-stitch for her :) It was a great deal of work, but it was absolutely worth it!!! Especially for her reaction!! I am SO happy with the way it turned out! I love the writing... I shall keep the pattern just for it! ;)


A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life. 
-Isadora James


We ended the day with a game of Bejeweled, the brand new game dad found! :) We love playing board games together, especially strategic ones, such as Blokus, Cathedral, and from now on Bejeweled :D After the game (which Sara won), we watched a movie and had dessert with tea. It was wonderful, praise the Lord!! Sara says it was her favorite activity of the day :)

Thank You, Yahweh, for such a beautiful celebration! Please bless my awesome sissy and give her all the desires of her heart! 

I hope that you all enjoyed these colorful pictures, I would LOVE to hear about your own or your siblings' birthdays, so leave a comment! :) May our Lord make His face shine upon you all!

In all sisterly love,

      Hi Sarah! Thank you so much!! How are you finding cross-stitching? Have you become brave enough to "change up" the colours? :P I haven't! Well... Expect when I ran out of thread ;) I hope that you have a lovely night as well!!

      Hi Noemie! Well, I am actually embroidering a quilt right now! I am sticking with the colors though, I like the colors! I suppose I could change it, but I feel safer sticking with it. :) Hehe!

      Wow!!! Embroidering a quilt? That is so nice!! It must take a lot of patience :) I *totally* get you about colours, haha! Well, if they go well with what you are doing and you like them, why not stick with them! :P I hope you will have plenty of fun embroidering!

      Its fun! Its a baby quilt. Its a Noahs Ark one. Its really cute! All the colors are baby colors. :) I love watching the animals come "alive." Yes! You can't really change the colors of the animals anyways, you don't exactly want a pink elephant! ;) I will!! BTW I love your blog button! I am going to put it on my blog! :) How did you make it?? :)

      Aww, it sounds really pretty! Haha, watching the animals come alive from your own needle and tread must be quite something!! :D I would love to see it when it is finished! Oh, and thank you! I collected some clip art that I liked from the web, then made a collage, and voilà, my button was done! I also used a "blog button generator" for the grab link. MUCH easier! ;) I'm so happy that you put it on your blog, thank you!! ♥
