~ My Family Birthday Celebration ~

I had a nice family double ( my MIL's and my) birthday celebration. 

 

There was lots of water play

 

Good food... Handsome made a Candied Ginger Cheese Cake

 

Presents

Here is my MIL and I

Uncle R, Aunt A, Me, and my MIL

 

Aunt A. looking at the socks I knit my MIL

 

Toward the end of the party we found some young savages

 

 

Good times and good memories were made by all.

What a nice party! The cheesecake sounds exceptional! You are so talented. I used to knit sweaters, but could never master socks.
Hope you all have a pleasant weekend.
Blessings,Karen

Looks like everyone had a great time. Those socks looks great. I've never been able to knit socks. I'm a basic knitter, nothing to hard. :) I'm glad you had such a great birthday.

Nice Pictures!!! :) I'm glad you have had such a good week. The hand writing program that I use is at http://www.fonts4teachers.com/ it really works well. I also put some handwriting sites on my HSBiz blog. I would have just given them to you but there are so many I didn't want to fill up your comment area with websites! lol!!! :) Some of the websites have handwriting wizards, you may want to check these out before investing in a program and see if they fit your needs. When I bought the program, the wizards were really limited. One of the things I love about my program is I can make really cool notebooking and copywork sheets. I'm not limited to what others have came up with.

Handsome and I




First , I am a daughter of the King almighty and a a wife to my Handsome of 17 years. A mom of 4 on the go boys 15, 13, 10, and 8. I grew up in the states but married my Canadian sweetheart and moved up north. We live in the southern part of British Columbia , Canada on our homestead. We have homeschooled our four boys from birth and plan to go the distance till all four graduate from our homeschool. I teach with a Charlotte Mason style and use the Heart of Wisdom Approach. I love to craft! I am a beader, knitter, x-stitcher, quilter. We have been on a journey of being apart of building "The House that God Built". I have been recording our journey on my blog. Go to my links and you will find it. I know God has a lot more instore for us and we just need to follow where our Lord takes us.
