We got to celebrate Lia's 15th Birthday all weekend! We started with a new hair cut on Friday (she cut off 10 inches!) and a family party Friday night. Then her friends took her to breakfast on Saturday morning and she had a party with them that night at our house. They gave her her favorite things: a box of vegetables and a gift card to Woven Pear, her favorite sock store. Sunday was her actual birthday and we fasted that day because she got her Patriarchal Blessing that night. She decided she was ready and scheduled it for that day. We've had a lot of really great days with Lia, like when she was baptized and when she went to the temple for the first time. Those were very special experiences that I will never forget. Her patriarchal blessing though was even better. The patriarch spent a lot of time with us before and then he gave her a beautiful blessing. I am so thankful for a loving Heavenly Father who has given us the power of the priesthood and the blessing of patriarchs. Lia has so much to offer and is going to accomplish great things in her life. We are so grateful for the sweet person she is and how she looks out for others. She is so diligent in her scripture study and has worked hard to gain a testimony. She is not afraid to try new things and to do things on her own. She is also a lot of fun and has a funny sense of humor. She sees things as they are and is a good judge of character. We are so proud of her and are excited to see the great things she will do in her life.
