Yesterday was a VERY special day, the day we celebrated with Virginia as she turned 98 years young! We waited until the kids were out of school and then headed her way to spoil her a bit. We like to drink tea when we visit, so her gift was a pretty new tea cup and some herbal teas.
Then we brought out her cake and sang some Happy Birthday to the birthday girl!
We decided to be safe and go with slightly less than the necessary 98 candles for the occasion.
She read through her cards the kids made. I was especially proud of Evelyn's card -- she's getting so much better with her handwriting (even if she can't spell her name yet)!
The kids managed to keep from popping her balloons while we visited.
She gave the boys advice for how to live well with the main theme being to "Work hard!" She said if you're working hard, there isn't any time for getting into trouble. I just love my visits with Virginia and all of the wisdom she freely passes along.
I'm so thankful for this wonderful lady and blessed to have her in our lives. Happiest of birthdays, Virginia! We love you!!
