Halloween night....

Hope yours was full of spooky fun!

Halloween in Wonderland...

Chloe and I hosted a Halloween mad hatter tea party today. She dressed up as Alice in her little blue vintage dress. I was inspired by the article styled by Debbie Dusenberry in the Halloween issue of Better Homes and Gardens. They have these print outs that are fabulous. I also purchased and framed these Alice postcards from Emily Martin.

Don't be late!

I also made a scrapbook with Hallowe'en in Wonderland papers by Graphic 45.

What a fun gathering and a great way to start our Halloween festivities!

Celebrating.....

Our summer has been full of many gatherings of family and friends. So many reasons to celebrate! While my sister and her family were still here we celebrated my moms birthday together.

At a birthday party Chloe attended they served the cutest little burger treats. Check these out! They are made from vanilla wafters (for the bun), mint cookie (for the burger), coconut (for the lettuce) and frosting for ketchup and mustard. The kids loved them!

The fun confetti cupcakes at the same party were just too pretty not to photograph.

The kids and I made chocolate chip cookies to bring to a very special gathering.

We visited this lovely lady, my great-aunt that turned 100 years old today.

Talk about a reason to celebrate!

Happy 4th!!!

Happy Easter!

Easter morning the kids were up bright and early and it was gorgeous and sunny for the first time since I've been home. We were off to take Bodhi for a walk and see what was blooming in the neighborhood.
We found the perfect picture spot!

Then we headed over to my parents for the big Easter egg hunt!
The kids ran through the woods in their backyard while my mom and I looked for new flowers blooming.


Quite a haul!


Chloe always loves the chocolate bunny best!
We then went for a stroll through one of our favorite wildflower gardens in Minneapolis.
After a nice meal we headed to the park to fly kites.
It was a lovely day. So nice to have the sun shining again.

Hope you had a memorable Easter!
