Laura turned 19 on March 19 this year! That means this was her GOLDEN BIRTHDAY! She is such a lucky girl cause she got to be home for her birthday since it's Spring Break this week. Laura is such a sweet girl and a very special friend! I'm so glad that God led her to Northland, because it is so fun to have her here! (And, besides, it doesn't make me feel so bad when Jordan scares me because I can be sure that Laura screamed too!) ;) Laura, I'm so proud to have you for my friend! I hope that God continues to bless you and grow you into Christ-likeness this year! I love you so much!
Okay, now for some useless birthday facts to commemorate this occasion:
The tradition of birthday parties started in Europe a long time ago. It was feared that evil spirits were particularly attracted to people on their birthdays. To protect them from harm, friends and family would to come be with the birthday person and bring good thoughts and wishes. Giving gifts brought even more good cheer to ward off the evil spirits. This is how birthday parties began.
At first it was only kings who were recognized as important enough to have a birthday celebration (maybe this is how the tradition of birthday crowns began?). As time went by, children became included in birthday celebrations. The first children's birthday parties occurred in Germany and were called Kinderfeste.
