Nathaniel completely surprised me Tuesday night with a birthday party at our house. We had gone to get a coffee before going to my parents' house for dinner, or so I thought. After coffee, we had to stop by our house to get something we forgot (so far, nothing out of the ordinary...). I was busy talking and did not see the other cars in our driveway... Sitting in the car in the driveway I continued to chatter to Nathaniel about the day, when suddenly I saw my mom in the house! Still unsuspecting I said, "Wow, what's my mom doing over here and did she walk through the snow?" My moment of realization was when Nathaniel turned toward me, with a beaming smile, and said, "Do you want to go in?"
And so the party started! I think we had 38 people in our house that night!

| I'm so thankful that our conversation is centered around the Word of God, from which we have been given our values. I kept thinking of Deuteronomy 6:20-25 because without the story being taught (daily), we and our children will be in bondage. It was very special to have my father, father-in-law, brothers, brothers-in-law, and cousins toasting at my birthday party. |
