Joelle’s Surprise Visit!
Our family flew one of the girls’ dear friends here from Colorado as a surprise for Jaimee’s 23rd birthday. We managed to keep it a secret and Jaimee was very much surprised!!

“discovering” Joelle in Dad’s office… Jaimee cried!

we took Joelle to Boerne- a great little town with many cute shops! Here we’re having fun trying on hats.

Joelle hand-delivered a special birthday treat from Meagan (her sister in law) and Cailan… all the ingredients to make a perfect tea party!

We took Joelle to the famous Casa Rio Mexican food restaurant!

Jaimee was given a harp from a neighbor this year and was delighted to learn several tips from Joelle. We enjoyed hearing Joelle play for us as well!

We traveled over to New Braunfels to celebrate John’s parents’ birthdays. God has blessed them with long life – 94 and 89 years!

Thank you for coming Joelle! You made Jaimee’s birthday so memorable and we enjoyed every minute with you! We are grateful for the sweet Godly friends the Lord has blessed us with.

I just had to comment when I saw ‘a picture from Sunday afternoon’! Jaimee and I have the same blouse! It is one of my favorites from Christopher and Banks
I heard of your family about a year ago through the DeLaduranteys, and I am so glad you are better, Jaimee!
Happy Birthday! Many blessings on the year ahead!
In Christ,
Allison Marshall
