Good Friends

After a morning of Estate Sales, our Junking friend "Larry" took us to Breakfast at "Chaps"(The Best Breakfast Ever!) We were so surprised and excited that our friend and owner of Chaps, Celeste was there to greet us and made us feel so welcomed. She and my middle son Charlie have a connection ( last year they met at The Farm Chicks Show!!!) She gave Charlie a cowboy hat and he got to fill it with Cowboys and Indians! What a fun surprise for our Charlie:) We feel so fortunate to have such wonderful people in our life and who make us feel so loved!!!!

Cop Charlie's 5th Birthday

My son Charlie turned 5 on Wednesday the llth of March,and boy was it a busy week. I am just now able to get everything together to post. Charlie is my middle son and is obsessed with "cops". So the theme of the party...was of course "cops," we made star invitations to send out for Cop Charlie's 5th B-Day Party.

There was mini cupcakes sent to school with blue colored frosting.(to match his police uniform)
I tried to find a police officer that could come over but, they are sometimes hard to find when you want them:) So I took him to the next best place for his Birthday suprise......



Off to Chuck E. Cheese on Friday the 13th for the Grand Finale.........
You know cops love their doughnuts.......

Princess Madison

My niece turns "5" on Friday and has requested a Royal Party, consisting of pink princess decor, glitter, wands and cupcakes. If you knew our precious Madison you would know that she is oh so worthy of all of the above. So Auntie Cel and Nana are off to find the proper decor. I found the cutest candles, however they ended up being available only in the UK... I found pink crown candles in North Carolina that will do.
For the cupcakes we found little toothpick crowns but they needed something so we added glitter..
and more glitter....

We love German glass glitter it's amazing!!!!!!
Come back to see the final Grand Extravaganza!!!
.She even had Princess sized treats for school......
Directly from the Princess mouth,"This was FABULOUS!"

Happy Valentines Day!

Where there is great love there are always miracles....
