Dancing Birthday

Sunday was a very fun day for me, and another great reminder of the blessings in my life.

'Twas the Night Before Christmas was performed at St. Cecelia and I just had to go see my favorite pink stocking and toy doll!

 

After church, I was able to celebrate my favorite Wills' 7th birthday - what a sweet guy!

It really was a great day, on a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend - God's mercies are abundant!

Thing 1 and Thing 2

It's a birthday party for two sweet girls - Evie and June!

You Ain't Much...

...if you ain't Dutch!!!  Holla!!!!

I went to a Dutch heritage dinner the other night and I felt riiiiiiiiiiight at home!!  There were even Kloppen Dancers!

We even sang the Dutch national anthem! :)

I should be totally offended!!

However, it might be true...

Party of Four

Second successful dinner party tonight!  Soup again.  Maybe this is just the soup house.  I also did apple and Brie melts.  Delicious.

The girls tried to surprise me with these, but I saw them sneaking around just the three of them at work, so the cat was out of the bag on the gift! :)  I love them!  Next up: Pasta! or fresh fruit!

Kelsey thanks you, and so do I! Who's up for the next dinner party?

Heart Warming

I recently moved into my first house; to celebrate a couple of the moms from church decided to throw me a house warming shower.  What a blessing!  Living at my house has been a bit like glamorous camping or 'glamping' if you will!  Running water and comfy bed but nothing in the cupboards!  Not anymore!!!!!

Girl Tools!

The Decorations

D-Lish! and darling!

So many people came - what an honor.

Sara and Lois threw the party for me

These were SO cute - what a great way to wrap odd shaped items! Thanks Lynda!

I left feeling very loved, and ready to open my home - stop by to see me soon!
