Happy Birthday, Mariah!

New Year's day fifteen years ago this girl was born!  She was arrived shortly after midnight and was the first baby born at that hospital and the second in the county!  She made the front page of the local newspaper. :)
 
 
For her birthday this year, she wanted to go ice skating with her siblings and some friends from church.  We have had some cold weather so the mood was just right! :) (It is obviously an indoor rink.  We typically do not have freezing weather consistently!)
 

For southern kids that don't ice skate very often, I thought they did pretty well! :)





I was glad that Matthew was off work and was able to go with us.


 
 
Her favorite place to eat lately has been Freddy's!  So that is where we headed next!
 

 
The annual crown picture!  She has had her picture taken with it since birth!
 

Chocolate sheet cake for dessert!  It turned out very ugly because my pan was warped (note to self... order new stone!) but it tasted good!



                                                     Opening up her presents!


Boots!  I am amazed how fast my kids go through boots! 

 
Goofing off on snapchat. :)
 

Mariah has brought much joy to our family.  She is my organizer and "get it done girl"! I pray this next year is one of many blessings for her!

"Blessed is the man
    who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
    nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
but his delight is in the law of the Lord,
    and on his law he meditates day and night.

He is like a tree
    planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
    and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers." Psalm 1:1-3
