DD Birthday Dress

DD's birthday isn't for another month, but we had her party this past weekend with my inlaws. It was a "joint" birthday party with her Papa. Since his birthday was the 20th and hers is the 24th of March it makes it easier to just have one party instead of one this month and one next month. Her is a picture of the cake I made for her. What do you think? I was very pleased with the way it turned out.
The next pictures...some of you may recognize her birthday dress. I finished it this past fall, but it was too big for her because I purposefully made it that way so she could have a special dress for her birthday. Well, I put it on her and I was surprised how much weight she has gained in the past few weeks. I didn't know if it would fit, but it worked out alright. But she won't be in it much longer I am afraid.

She really loves hats! I still can't get over how cute she is in this outfit, but I am just a little biased. ;)

GREAT JOB on the cake...It looks too pretty to eat. I don't think you are biased at all ... she is adorable. I love the way she looks in her hat and dress. They grow so fast its hard to keep them in clothes and when you put all that work in the ones ya make you wanna make them big enough to last awhile..I do the same thing..

She is soooo cute. And the dress is gorgeous. Where'd you get that pattern??? *wink* Your cake is beautiful. Where were you last year when I tried to make a butterfly cake? Mine didn't turn out near as well as yours. I am having a friend make one for us this year.

Show and Tell Friday (10/5)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn'

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Today I am taking part in Kelli's Show and Tell and her Giving Thanks week. Last Saturday I had the chance to do something I had never done before. I put together a gingerbread house with my MIL and my children. My MIL made the gingerbread and then she had me help her assemble it and then decorate it. We didn't finish it all, but we hope to finish it this afternoon since she has the day off. I am pretty proud of myself. Next year maybe the children and I can do this as a school project/activity. So...here is the gingerbread house in all it's glory. I hope to post a finished

I did it!

Yes, I did get up at 5am this morning. Two days in a row, that is a HUGE deal for me. Let's see if I can keep this up (but probably not on Sundays). Tomorrow will be the test. I am not the type of person that can sleep in two days in a row and then get up on time through the week. I am going to try to only allow myself (at first) to sleep in one day a week. We will see how that goes. ;) But, my quiet time the past two mornings has been wonderful! It's amazing how it totally changes my day. Today I was thinking about smiling. Do you know that people are drawn to a smile? It's true. Think about it. When you are out in a store or just out on a walk...there is something about a smile from someone. I guess it gives me "hope" that there are actually people out there with joy in their heart. Gotta wonderful sometimes with all the scowls I see. Make sure you have a smile on your face today. :) Oh...the other night when we went to the store Sweet E was so happy. When we w
