Our Sweet Eden



Thanks to my wonderful and talented cousin Karly we got some fabulous pictures today. I posted my top three favs. The kids were great and Karly was amazing at posing and getting them all to look :) Thanks again Karly for the pictures and a wonderful morning.

M is for Mildred

Every now and again we get to go up and visit my Aunt Mildred. The kids just love it! I told Gordon we were going to go for a visit and his response was, "I want to go to Mildred's right now". When I was a little girl my Aunt Mildred had a birthday celebration for me and my two brothers. It was so fun. We each got our own birthday cakes. So yesterday we had another birthday celebration. She got the kids giant cupcakes. They LOVED it! A wonderful memory for them and for me. (in the above picture, Mildred is showing Gordon one of her art magazines- Mildred is an artist herself. I love that she inspires my kids to be artistic)

Both Ella and Gordon were very excited to light the candles and blow them out.

Two happy kids and two full bellies :)
Ella is our little social eater. After she finished hers she climbed right up on Mildred's lap to get a few more bites. And she did :) Who could say no to that face?
And before we left Gordon really had is heart set on painting. Mildred let him do a few strokes. We had such a fun time. I am sure we will be back again soon :) Thanks Mildred!!! We love you!
