It’s Time to Celebrate! A Party for Our High School Graduate
I love to commemorate the milestones in my children’s lives and so when my kids graduate from high school I like to give them a very special party. It was only a few days before the party that my son who we were celebrating, accidentally burned our barn down. He was one disheartened young man looking at the destruction caused by the fire. I am so thankful that he wasn’t hurt, nor his sister who was trying to help! All of our tables and chairs were burnt in the fire and we had to go buy more tables. We rented the chairs. I was prepared with rectangular tablecloths but when…

A Drive-by Gender Reveal Party – Twinkle Twinkle Little Star How We Wonder What You Are
Well as things go, my daughter who was married back in 2019 in a beautiful field by our home, is going to have a baby. What an absolute thrill for us. We received a little wrapped package in the mail. Inside was a note attached to a baby pacifier announcing the special news. ♥ Serenity decided to have a gender reveal party. Now I never did find out what I was having. All 6 times it was a complete surprise and so far all my children have opted to be surprised too. But my daughter and my son-in-law wanted to know. Serenity decided to go with a twinkle twinkle little…

The Reception – Part III
The wedding was over, some light refreshments had been offered to our guests, pictures taken and it was time for the reception to begin.

Some of the family stepped in and showed them how to set up each table so that was a blessing. We just couldn’t have done everything without the help of different ones! May they be blessed! If you would like to hear some of their playing, you…

Wedding Elegance in a Rustic Setting – Part I
The morning of the wedding dawned with all the hustle and bustle of things that could only be done last minute but as I mentioned in this post Serenity and I were staying downstairs together, so we shared a very special moment that morning when I gave her a little note from me along with a bracelet that said “Faith”. We then hurried to the field to do some set-up. One funny story that happened was the table that we had painted (you can see the girls working on it here) was set up the day before in the field and crazily enough a swarm of bees had taken up…
