Busy weekend...

Well, this weekend was a blur! My sister and nephew were in town for a quick 4 days. As we were leaving the restroom we came upon this large oval mirror, and I couldn't resist taking our picture! I am the shorter, fat one on left, and my sister is 1 inch short of 6 ft. tall, so in some ways I can still look like a shrimp! LOL.

Emily had her 4th birthday party and she was, of course a doll. Here she was dressed and ready to go to her party.

Her party theme was "My Little Pony", and the cake was impressive! We used two different cakes from Walmart, topped with 6 small ponies, and a large one with wings that light up, and the pony talks! I added 4 sparkler candles around edge, and I'm telling you it was amazing when lit up in a semi dark venue!

And last I will leave you with another miniature rose bouquet. Never mind the dirty windowsill, screen and windows!!! I am enjoying being able to go out and cut these adorably cute little roses and slipping into a tiny vase! Soon you will see more colors as I want to add a white and orange one!

Have a good rest of the week! I am grateful for you all, and am sending special loving thoughts and prayers to LGW!!!

    What a sweet looking little girl there and a very happy birthday to Emily. Wow, 4 already? Just love the new addition to your family. Simply cute and what a lucky doggie too.
    Pretty flowers. We are have some rain, but not enough to cool it down here. Very sticky out, yuck.
    Have a great day.

  3. Lovely pictures and I had to smile at your description of yourself standing beside your sister. My sister is 5 inches taller than I am and standing beside her I am definitely short and dumpy looking. Have a terrific rest of the week :)
