Lots of family gathered to celebrate Joe's birthday.
I appreciate that.
And I wonder how my baby is 12.
But, then, I remember all the joy that has come in those 12 years.
Like this joy.
It's life like and contagious.
It's authentic and inspiring.
Mama got flowers too from Anniston and Allison, I loved them!
Pretty nieces.
Earlier in the day, Sam and Joe helped
me get the porch ready and party decorations up!
He was outside ready for family!
And earlier in the day, mama made Joe a chocolate iced chocolate cake.
And it true Ashley fashion with baking/cooking it was a bit of a learning curve, ha.
Joe was impressed with the cake.
I love this 12 year old.
So thankful for each of those 11 years together || 12 years in our hearts.
