Big 5...Happy Birthday Tatum!!!


Yesterday was Tatum's fifth birthday... I can not belive how fast time goes. It seems like just yesterday we brought her home from the hospital. I remember she was so fair she looked just like a little porclien doll. Oh so sweet. We had a special day for her. Our family has a tradition where we devote the whole day to the birthday person.They have a fancy place made at the table for them, with a plate that I painted, and little decorations. They get to pick every meal and what they want to do that day. And, the special place we go to dinner. And then we invite usually our closest friends. If we lived closer to family we would invite them. But that would be kind of a drive:) For dinner Tatum picked "Golden Corral" her favorite place in the world to go. She absolutley loves it there. We invited our friends Dan and Heidi to come along they have three little boys that our kidos just adore. They brought their oldest Carter, which the girl's are all about :) We will have to watch that. LOL... We had a great time with the kids. And ate pleanty of food that we did not need. Afterwards we went home, put the little guy to bed and played a fun game of shoots and ladders to end her special day!!!

"Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them:" Psalm 127:3-5a

Love,
Brittany and the Family ( Please exscuse the pictures. I was not so good at taking them. They are a little blurry)













Our friends "Barbie and Ken" Heidi and Dan...

Oh, the pictures are very nice, Brittney. You and Joshua have been blessed beyond measure. I loved the photos of you, Josh and the girls taken at Marlene's wedding. What a beautiful day that must have been!

Your kids are priceless "arrows." But, have you heard that an Old Testment quiver held a total of 12 arrows, typically? LOL

My sister, Sheila, and I will be in touch with you all about the holidays, soon. Meanwhile, I would like Marlene and Ross' new address, if you have it, to send a gift.

Take care,
Marlene and Josh's Aunt, Sharon Sullivan, Apple Valley
