Happy Birthday Sweet Little Susie!

My sweet second born, Susannah just celebrated her 13th Birthday just this past weekend along with some friends from school and church. Her Aunt Michelle put on a Regency Era, Jane Austen themed birthday for her and did a most excellent job! Hugs Aunt Michelle!
Susannah was inspired to have a "ball" for a birthday after watching (about 50 times :0) "Pride and Prejudice".
Her gown was made by me, in the style of Jane Benett. We changed a few details and had so much fun with it!
The day included a punch bowl, games, tea, sandwiches and a candlelit dinner and dancing! The house was dim with a roaring fire in the fireplace and candles everywhere! We had guests play on the piano forte' and it was simply a lovely party!





It's so hard to believe that time has gone as fast as it has. Susannah , now preferring to be called "Susie" is truly growing up. She is always rising to the task when something needs to be done. She loves to bake up yummy goodies for her daddy and to take to church. She truly has a servants heart and a gentle spirit.
Susannah has blessed our lives in so many ways and I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful daughter. Happy Birthday my sweet Susie! I love you to the moon and back!
