March 4 was Faith's 5th birthday. Five is a big deal for Faith and our family. If Faith was born 50 years ago, we would've been told she wouldn't live to see age 5. I cannot imagine that and try to only seldom even allow myself to be swallowed by the thoughts & devastation that cystic fibrosis is.
Faith had a Garden Party. I gave her a list of ideas weeks ago and her eyes lit up at the garden idea. She had about 10 girls over to decorate little pots, color butterflies then pin them on the flower while blindfolded, played a game outside and planted seeds into their pots of dirt to take home. The party was complete with ladybug strawberries, flower sandwiches and a 65 roses garden with info to sign up for the CFF Greatstrides walk. Everyone had a great time! After the party Faith said, "Happy Birthday to myself!" I asked her what her favorite part of the day was and this was her reply:
"Everything! I have 4 favorites: 1. The dirt cups (to eat), 2. Qwynci's messy face (from the purple cupcake frosting), 3. The rainbow facepaint (thanks Tiffany for helping!), 4. All my friends helping me open my presents.....and I have one more, playing with all my presents after the party (naturally!)." I'm not sure about posting pictures of all the kids without parent consent, so here's what it looked like before the chaos, haha!
Also after the party, Brookie was caught trying to give Falon lip gloss!
