Mia's 15th Birthday!

Happy 15th Birthday to Mia!

Mia was ready by 6:30 on the morning of her birthday. She and Ryan stopped by Chick-fil-a for a birthday breakfast before they headed over to the Dept of Motor Vehicles. Mia had been studying, and she passed her learner's permit test with flying colors! Way to go Mia!

She couldn't wait to start driving, so she and Ryan headed over to the church so she could start practicing. She's picking this up pretty quickly! We are confident she'll become a great driver.

We had Mia's requested lunch of prosciutto and cheese on baguette. We were happy to give her some birthday presents to start the celebration. Granna and Papa came by too to wish her a happy birthday in person. We were excited to welcome Paige Pennington and Rylie Leverett over a little bit later. We sang happy birthday and enjoyed some cookie cake; it's always fun to have dessert first!

I then took Mia, Paige, and Rylie to Medieval Times in Lawrenceville. Mia has been before and really enjoyed it. I was so excited to get to take them! We were assigned to the Red Knight's section, and we were ready to cheer him on!

This was such a fun evening celebrating Mia!

Mia is an amazing young lady. She is generous and compassionate. She is funny and intelligent. She cares about people deeply. She loves to read and always has a good book in tow. She is creative and loves to sew. She enjoys video games as well, especially the Zelda series. She really loves the theater too whether she's performing in it or just watching. She has many gifts and talents, and I cannot thank the Lord enough for how he lovingly created Mia!
