Vacation

It's time to sit back, relax and enjoy the fruits of our labor.  

Our family has been planning several parties over the past few months. My grandparents celebrated 60 years of wedded bliss on Wednesday.  We're throwing them a big party with all the family this upcoming weekend.

On top of that, we celebrated my grandmother's 80th birthday two weeks ago.  Mom and I had fun planning a surprise for her and her yard which I'll talk about and share a photo or two from in weeks to come.  

If that wasn't enough, Yaya turned 5 this week. We celebrated her special day last night with a tea party in my parent's garden surrounded by friends, flowers and hundreds of twinkling lights. Listening to the squeals of joy from 8 little girls as they chased eachother around the yard and danced to music was absolute bliss.  

The photo below is from a wedding I attended a few weeks back. 

The mother of the bride was kind enough to loan us all her wedding decorations for Yaya's birthday party. I can't wait to recount a few stories and photos from these events and a few still to come but for now I am officially taking a blog vacation. I hope my friends and family in blog land will stop back by when I return in a few weeks.
