These pictures above are from Xanthe's Saturday party. The enxt day, we had the Kings over for Xanthe's actual birthday. She loves feeling like the queen, and ate up every ounce of the attention. It's fun to celebrate Xanthe. She just loves it, and her sweet little face lights up. We celebrated with the Dopps on another Sunday, but I guess I didn't take pics. Grandma and Grandpa gave Xanthe a heavenly, warm blanket to wrap up in. She loves it.
But first, church. Here's Tizzy giving the sacrament to her Beanie Boo. Highly sacrilegious on many levels, not the least of which was me snapping a photo.
Bookmarks from the Saturday party
Xanthe loves Tricia and Jim. They are so generous and supportive. We love having them around, and Tricia has been under the weather lately, so we've missed them!
Coco and Bill gave Xanthe a big bag of lunch items like juice boxes, and also those individual boxes of cereal. She has relished using all those things.
See what I mean? Look at that eager face! Xanthe has such a beautiful heart. She is so forgiving and so resilient, and getting to be so much fun. She is hilarious sometimes. We're getting a Chinese foreign exchange student next year, and Xanthe's reaction was hilarious. She said, "But you already HAVE a Chinese kid!" Later, she put her hand dramatically over her heart and declared, "I feel so BETRAYED!" She's so funny! I think on some level, she does feel betrayed! In a family with sevel kids, you have to stand out somehow. For Xanthe, that was always a given. How will she stand out if there are TWO Chinese kids? Ha ha! Don't worry, Xanthe. You'll always shine brighter than everyone else.
