happy birthday, sweet Carolyn

Hi there! My good friend Molly is the mom to this beautiful little one. Carolyn turned the "big 1" back in March and came over to eat and destroy a cake. We had a lot of fun! This is her before cake demo/clothes came off look.

The cake was very simple and decorated with seasonal blooms. I used one of my favorite quilts (my mom made it the year I was born) as a backdrop. Carolyn was a huge fan of the cake and would have eaten the entire thing if we let her. 

…and clean-up time in the sink. Thanks Molly, that was fun!

the pink package

A little snippet with the kiddos after Eli's nap. We read a few of his favorites then went for a walk to look for horses down the road. Little did we know that there would be a package in the mailbox. 

add a sweater because we're going outside…

ah…those chompers. Two things he clearly inherited from me.

wait, one more book before we go…

And now it's time to look for the horses across the road.

and sit on a rock…

and find things like this…

Do you see it? The lone shaggy pony who wanted nothing to do with us. Oh well.

They still had fun climbing the fence and chasing one another.

There is just something about a mud puddle no matter how small. Bert doesn't look happy though. 

And then she spied this on the way back home.

behold the power of Disney! 

Thank you, Aunt Liz. You made Cedar's day. xoxo
