We celebrated Ezra's seventh birthday with a little boat ride with the cousins and a stop at the Chickamauga Dam, where Mamaw and Papaw were waiting to surprise Ezra with some birthday fun. Mamaw had sack lunches for the kiddos with some treats.
Ezra had his favorite dessert- dirt pudding. :)
The kids swam. It was the most gorgeous evening. The sunset was perfect over the water. But this pic below is quite literally the calm before the storm. A little later out on the boat, miles from where we parked, an unpredicted lightening and thunderstorm popped up with sheets of rain coming down. It was intense. I am thankful God protected us through the storm. "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." Psalm 46:1
On Ezra's actual birthday, we celebrated with his neighbor friends with pizza and cupcakes.
They smashed cupcakes in their faces. Look at Sophia's face. LOL.
Every year, I ask them these questions on their actual birthday. I love this tradition and to look back over their answers thru the years.
