Hoot!


Happy Mother's Day to you! The morning birds are chirping their Mother's Day tunes. This mother is all filled up after a day of kids and grandchildren! We are a big crowd and we had fun celebrating Aria's first birthday yesterday! More on that, but look at Jeff's newest photo art. He took this picture in India. I thought you would like a little elephant hello on this particular GOOD DAY!

The spring tulips are still showing their glory around here!







And now . . . the owl party! My talented daughter-in-law put together the sweetest owl birthday for little A.














The goody bags were owl themed and April made each cousin an owl softy. Isn't this adorable?

Miss Bug!

April also made this fantastic owl pinata! The kids pulled strings at the bottom to make the coins and treasures come out. Brad (my first owl baby) supervised!

April also made owl hair clips! Enlarge the picture so you can see Aria's clip up close.

Finn likes Aria's new owl puppet.


Little Millie enjoyed the sun and the fun!

Samantha Blue Eyes kept her parents hopping! She wanted to drink the water out of the water table toy. She liked seeing all of her cousins!

I am going to have some orange juice in a wine glass and toast all the mothers who take their job seriously. I shall toast this happy and friendly month of May, too.
Thank you for coming by and thank you for leaving such rich comments. It takes thought and time to acknowledge blog visits and each word is loved and savored. A bonus!

Happy Mother's Day. The party looks SO fun! I miss throwing those themed parties for little girls! I LOVE the owl softies. Wonder if I could find a pattern for that online? That would make a sweet gift for a special little girl in my "not related but family anyway" circle. :)

May the day be beautiful for you, my friend!

What a happy day! All the little owlets looked like they had a fun time. Your DIL did a lovely job of the party.

Happy Mother's Day to you, Pom Pom. Look at all these wonderful people who came about through you being a Mom.

Cute little owlets! Your grandbabies are growing up so fast PP! What little cuties they are! :)

Pulling strings to get the candy to come out of the pinata -- that sounds so much happier than some pinata parties I've been at, where the poor kids can't whack it hard enough...oh, yes, now I remember, the very worst, though it was a beautiful Humpty Dumpty, was a pinata that I made myself from paper mache...He was hard as a rock.

What a blessed Mother's Day!
