When you celebrate a birthday in the Esquivel home you have a certain set of "rules" that you must follow for your birthday.
First...you're not allowed to do any chores. You get 24 hrs. off!
Second...you get to choose the dinner of your choice. Tonight's menu consisted of Chicken Parmesan and Caesar salad, Victoria's favorites.
Third...choose your flavor for b-day cake or a different dessert...as long as I can put a candle in it. We kept dessert simple and made mini cupcakes for us and extra for Victoria's basketball team..she had practice tonight.
Fourth...need to have some friends over to help celebrate!!!
I'm so blessed by Victoria and the beautiful young lady she has grown to be in these last 16 yrs. She loves the Lord, her family and friends. I'm most blessed by the steps of faith she has taken this last year, trusting God in them all. She has allowed God to stretch her and continue to mold and shape her into His image.
We get to do this again tomorrow with Garrett's b-day but that's not for 20 more minutes;)...it's still Victoria's day;).
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
Hebrews 11:6
