A Reason to Party

I'd like to introduce you to Jessica....


Jessica is Chloe's friend from horse therapy. When Jessica was born, her parents were told she wouldn't live to be 5-years-old. Today was her 5th birthday. Needless to say, her parents wanted to celebrate this amazing milestone!....


So they invited Chloe over for a party....



Chloe (and a few other friends)....



It wasn't surprising to see so many people there to celebrate Jessica's life. There is something about her that fills you up with warmth and joy! She puts things in perspective and reminds you that all you need is love. It is amazing.

Here is another one of Chloe's horse therapy pals, Brianna. (shhh, don't tell, but she's one of my favorite little girls ever! What an amazing young girl)....


And another one of our horse therapy friends, Deacon. Deacon and Chloe have very similar diagnoses, so needless to say, his mommy and I like to chat....


This birthday party was so much fun! They had bowling....


And lots of other carnival-type games. Chloe loved it, especially winning the prizes! One of her favorite prizes was this princess tiara....



But playing underneath the rainbow prachute was undoubtedly her favorite part of the whole gig....




Chloe wishes Jessica a very happy 5th Birthday!....

This brought tears to my eyes! What a wonderful event!!! All you parents are Saints! My Mom's Twin Sister has a Son with Cerebral Palsy, He is 32 years old now. He can't walk and she has to wheel him or carry him around. He's very hard to understand. I've watched her through the years and everything she has went through with him. Some Very good. Some Very bad.. I believe you all must be very special for God to give you the responsibility to take care of his special angels.
