HAILEE'S SEVENTH BIRTHDAY

Look at all the bright flowers on her cake, and up in the corner is a little mermaid. I wonder how many bakers pray for the recipient as they are baking and decorating?

I don't do much cake decorating now, but when I do there are always prayers laced into every flower and swirl.

Hailee blows out her candles as little sister Madalyn watches. Notice how the flame on the candles is reflected in the glass table top.

The Party was held at the home my daughter and her husband recently bought. They are doing some remodeling before they move in. They will be much closer to me so I will see more of them. Am I happy about that? You can't imagine!!!

Here is our Birthday girl opening her gifts while cousin Kenny watches. I love Hailee's outfit. Isn't that just as cute as can be? And see little Ethan toddling in the background?

Hailee Loves her dollies so her aunt Patty made her this beautiful doll cradle. Patty didn't have a pattern but said she looked at pictures on the internet to get an idea how to go about it. Isn't it beautiful? And it rocks so smoothly that any doll would fall asleep easily. Maybe even a great grandma!

Hailee was happy with the new dress I gave her. This dress is one of those gifts that the Lord arranges.

I wanted to give her a pretty dress, but you all know the price of clothing these days? I also wanted to give her some pretty paper and sparkly pens and some other fun things. Anyway when I was shopping, I walked to the girls department, and went to the sale rack. This dress was hanging right on the end where it was impossible not to see. The size was perfect and it had been marked down from $19.99 to $6.00. Isn't our God magnificent?

Here is baby Victoria being held on her grandma Cyndi's shoulders by her mama Miranda. I thought it was a cute three generation picture and wanted to share.

Ethan loves his cousin Victoria and was trying to get close enough to hug her. His mommy is talking on her cell, and hanging on to him with the other hand while Victoria's mommy is holding on to her. Both babies are walking but don't have the best ballance yet. I think they look just darling in their little blue jeans.

Once in a while those of us who live behind a camera are able to capture one of those shots that invites a hundred different captions. I would love to hear what you think is bouncing around in this little doll's mind.

I hope your weekend was great and the coming week blesses your sox off.

HUGS!
