Happy 2nd Birthday, Carena!

Today I had the privilege of sharing Carena's 2nd birthday with Debbie, Julie, and Erika.

We went to lunch at El Maguey's and then visited the K4T office. El Maguey's is a Mexican restaurant that serves "authentic" Mexican style food. Because most of the staff at the restaurant are Mexican and speak Spanish we thought this was appropriate for Carena's birthday. The staff made a fuss over both girls...they just loved them. I asked if they would sing Happy Birthday to Carena in Spanish since she speaks both English and Spanish, and he said sure. He later came back and said that the ladies who do a good job singing the birthday song were on break and instead of singing they wanted to give Carena fried icecream that would be large enough for all of us to enjoy. Sure enough they showed up with a huge fried icecream sundie. So we sang Happy Birthday to Carena and had a great time.

Then we took Debbie and Carena over to the K4T office. Carena was so cute when she saw all the K4T books and said "I need a book." So...we gave her level 1 book A. She was so proud to have her own K4T TruthBook, and Debbie was thrilled to be able to start her in the K4T curriculum. Later, when we got back to Grandpa and Grandma's house I showed Debbie how to get lesson plans and coloring sheets to go along with Carena's TruthBook.

Happy Birthday, Carena. We praise the Lord that God has placed you in our family. May God richly bless you with understanding of His Word, and may you come to know Him early in life and serve Him with your life.
