Bedazzled Witch








Thank you
Nora for the make-up job.

She was by far the most bedazzling witch at the party!

Birthday, Baptism and Baby!!!

I admit it! I am a terrible blogger!!!

I have fallen behind and don't know whether

I will ever be able to catch up.

But here I go again.


Last month, yes last month we celebrated

Brigitta's 8th birthday.

She is fascinated with Egypt and Mummies

thus explaining the theme of her birthday party.


Mummies of Egypt!




Everyone had their eyes made up on arrival.





Excavating!


The Mummy Wrap!











The girls put on plays about Egypt.




Mummy Cake Pops!!!








Mar-Kay's birthday followed a few days later.


Brigitta said that she has been waiting

all her life to be baptised.

Her dream came true.

I sewed the dress she is wearing

22 years ago for her older sister.

All of Brigitta's sisters and cousins have

been baptised in this dress.






Brigitta and her nieces.










Michele was having contractions throughout

the baptism. But as promised, she waited until it was over.





We welcomed our 7th grandchild the very next day.




He is absolutely precious!








The two grandmothers.

I love that we are such good friends

and can work together to help raise our grandchildren.




In a day or two I will explain what has been occupying all of my extra time. Not that I really have extra time. Until then I just have to thank my Heavenly Father for all of my blessings. I feel so loved!!!
