It's the Birthday Boy... 19 Years Old!!!

Mama Loves her Birthday Missionary!

Elder Northrup's birthday meal of choice as long as I can remember! Broccoli Chicken (or Chicken Divan)

When Karter was transferred to Fayetteville, Sister Lester took a picture that very day and sent it to me. It was the first texted picture I received since he got to Georgia. Since then, I usually get at least one picture every Sunday. Anyway, I texted her to see if she knew who would be feeding him on his birthday because I wanted to send them a recipe to fix for his birthday. She told me she would be feeding him on the 6th and asked if she could make it and surprise him... I was so excited to be able to send it to her and have her do this for him.

Her text to me after his dinner said, "Before I could even tell him what I made, he saw the casserole dish ad gasped! He was so excited. I wish I could have done a video. He kept saying, "oh my gosh! No Way!" over and over. He had no clue!

How fun to be able to have someone help me surprise him. Technology is sweet!
