Happy Birthday, Laughing Water, Happy Birthday To You!

It hardly seems possible that that wide-eyed little bundle they put in my arms is 10 years old today. They weren't kidding when they said time flies!
It was Laughing Water's desire to have an old-fashioned tea with her friends. And so it came about that several little lovely ladies arrived in style complete with hoops, shawls, and hats.
They played old-fashioned games, like blind-man's bluff. We hid heart and flower shaped buttons for them to find.
They sat down to a pretty table and took tea and lemonade and little sandwiches and salads. Then they ate chocolate cake.
We closed it all with a pinata. It was just some great old-fashioned fun!
The Wood Artist made Laughing Water a wooden garden bench with her name engraved in it.
We will have Mr. Blueberry Eye's birthday celebration next weekend - with considerably less foofoo! - Nanettte

Happy birthday Brooke from your cousins in Washington. It looks like you had a beautiful party. We wish we could have been there.
