we're on a roll ! ...all the way to Independence Day !

happy 

sunny 

Summer

Sunday to all of you!

yesterday was Holland's big day!

since Chrislyn finds rare time to blog,  i thought that i

would share some of the festivities and creativity!

she did such a wonderful job bringing Holland's favorite

character Caillou to her celebration day!

the weather was perfect for bubbles and waterworks!

she managed four wardrobe changes by...

...sundae time!

a petite Caillou rode on a galvanized lazy susan filled

with sprinkles, and homemade caramel and chocolate sauce!

(i must get the recipes from Chrislyn to share with you one day!)

the sundaes were self serve a la Maison Mason!

(gotta love this universal on going trend!)

after a couple rounds of the Caillou theme song, lead by the 

birthday girl and her Daddy...it was time to sing "Birthday To You"...

...and blow!

Mr D took this sweet picture of Ben playing with one of the

adorable hand knit puppets made by his Great Grandma Becky!

it was a wonderful day!  lot's of  laughter and hugs!

a Mom is truly blessed when she has all of her babies in one place!

withLove!
