It's been a special weekend in the Manning home, a weekend full of celebration for Grandma because it's her birthday!!! We've eaten yummy food, even yummier cakes (yes, that's an "s" on cake, we had 2 cakes), we've sung, given lots of hugs, and even cried a little bit. I can honestly say that I'm one of the most blessed women in the world to have a mother whom I love so dearly. Words can't express my respect for my mom and the thankfulness in my heart towards her for all she has given to me throughout my life. I'm so thankful that God handpicked her to be my mama and my children's grandmother. Goodness, how Berkley and Meredith love their Grandma! Happy birthday Grandma (Mama)!
All Grandma really wanted for her birthday was time with Berkley and Meredith and we gave her plenty of that. The first words out of their mouths this morning when they saw her at church were, "Happy birthday Grandma" and that was without having to tell them to say anything.
Grandma let Berkley and Meredith help blow out the birthday candles. Luckily, we kept it just out of Berkley's reach, but he tried to grab some of that icing.
Here's Grandma's gift from everyone. We framed a beautiful picture of my dad in his farming prime along with the remarkable poem that my brother wrote for him called, "A Farmer's Faith." She loved it!
