“Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their fathers.”
Proverbs 17:6
Happy Thursday sweet readers. I think we are all in need of smiles and some light-hearted fun. Our youngest Princess turned one on March 26! A very small party was planned, keeping in mind social distancing. None of this quarantine business seemed to have any effect on the youngest party goer and guest of honor! Ella Mae had comforted everyone earlier by stating “if the virus comes to our house, we’ll just have to go live in the camper!”
“Grandchildren are the reward for growing older”
-unknown
Our sweet daughter-in-love crafted all the decorations and planned the perfect party…she is a wonderful Mommy!
Pizza was picked up curbside for the party! No photos, because once the food was available, all phones and cameras were tossed aside in favor of plates!
The theme was “Swan Princess”, with the cutest cake that was also delicious! Allison makes the best buttercream icing.
Cookies to celebrate our “Little Princess”, Emma!
Emma’s initial reaction is one of, “what is all this foolishness among grown people and this bird in front of my face?” OK, with the bird out of the way, this pink thing does feel soft to the touch. In fact this is nice to rub on your face. It is actually quite enjoyable to get it all over you! However, one tiny touch of her mommy’s icing to her lips and Emma is forever a “sweetie”!
Emma loved her bubble blowing lawn mower (and lots of other “stuff”)!
Someone else was also excited about the lawn mower and happy to give a demonstration on its safe and proper use!
Precious sisters in their matching swan princess dresses!
Emma is very sensitive and the word “no” can bring a quick tear. She does like to laugh though, and especially at her big sister!
The sweet, blue-eyed, fair complected Emma loves to snuggle, but changes her mind when given the opportunity to be on the move outside! We guess that “runs” in the family!
All grandparents know the joy grandchildren bring. Thank you for your visits and gracious comments. Wishing you a delightful day!

What a sweet entry to your blog today! The party arrangements looked smashing (no pun intended). Emma makes a beautiful Swan Princess. Many happy returns to her. ♥
Thank you Rita. My DIL is very talented!
A lovely party for a princess! I loved their matching dresses! When my sister and I were young… my Mom made matching clothes for us. Oh the sweet memories!
Happy Birthday Emma!
Thank you my friend. I love the girls in matching dresses. I didn’t have a sister, only a brother, so no matching attire!
They are so adorable in their matching dresses! It looks like they both had a lot of fun. What a wonderful party!
Thank you Michelle, it was a lot of fun!
Thanks so much for sharing. The girls are a delight. I love their dresses. The daughter in law you have is one special woman. These pictures really put some sunshine in my life.
Judy, I am so thrilled to offer a ray of sunshine in your day. My DIL is very talented.
Happy Birthday, precious Emma. What a wonderful time and photos. How blessed those beautiful girls are to be part of such a loving family. I love their sweet matching dresses and Ella Mae looks as though she is such a good big sister. Wishing all of you many years of making precious memories. ❤
Thank you Sandra. Ella Mae is a wonderful big sister. They grow too quickly!💗💗
Thanks for sharing. What a sweet party! You granddaughters are just adorable in their matching dresses. Aren’t grandchildren the best?
Thank you Della. Grands are the best…
Those two precious girls are absolutely adorable! I love those matching dresses. It looks like they had so much fun!
Thanks for sharing! Those sweet happy faces made me smile this morning. Happy Thursday, dear friend!
I am thrilled it brought a smile and thank you sweet friend💗💗
Happy Birthday to the sweet Emma. The dresses are adorable. I loved what Ella Mae said about living in the camper. A good time was had by all. Ella and Emma have very good looking parents. You are right…grandchildren are God’s gift to us.
Thank you Dianne. As you know, grands are the best…
The girls are precious, as is this post! Alison did a beautiful job with Emma’s cake; it is beautiful, and I am sure, also delicious. Although Emma will not remember this birthday, it is certainly one we will all remember, with Covid-19 a part of our daily lives. Grandchildren are an absolute delight, and I am sure that Ella Mae and Emma have added a dimension to your lives that nothing else has.
This will be a birthday that she will be told about many times. Grands are a delight for sure! Have a wonderful day 💗💗
How absolutely precious, Pam. The girls are both adorable. Happy Birthday to Emma! Alison did a great job with the cake; it is beautiful, and I am sure, also delicious. Having granddaughters myself, I know the joy that they bring to your lives. Enjoy every moment with them, for the moments turn into years so quickly.
Thank you dear friend. The moments do turn into years too quickly 💗💗
Oh Pam how adorable! The swan princess theme is so cute, and your DIL did such a great job with the decorations, dresses, and beautiful cakes!! Today is my grandson Charlie Brown’s 5th birthday, it is killing me to miss it and having to send him a gift by Amazon…but my daughter has decorated her house and wrapped a pile of festive presents and I know he will have a grand time…I can’t believe Emma is already 1!! Such a cute family, you are blessed!
Jenna
Happy 5th birthday to Charlie Brown 🎉💙🎉I know it is so hard not being there to share it with him. Thank you, I have a talented DIL 💗💗
So adorable Pam and glad you could have a small party despite the times. Beautiful cookies, cake, dresses and party decorations!! Thanks for the smiles this morning.♥
Thank you Mary. My DIL is so talented!💗💗
Oh my goodness, this looks like the best 1st birthday party! Your precious DIL is so creative, and there seems to be no end to her talent! Maybe one day you could have her share the buttercream frosting…seriously, isn’t the only point of cake to hold all that delicious frosting?!? Truly one of my favorite activities is mowing grass, and I’m downright in awe of a mower that blows bubbles! All mine does is blow red dust in my face. You and Butch are truly blessed.
Roxanne, Butch would agree the only point of cake is to hold lots of frosting. Our DIL is very creative!
Utter gorgeousnesses.
Love Cath in Aus.
What a blessing! The girls are so cute, and I love the dresses. Grandchildren do bring so much joy, so glad you all are enjoying them, they grow up so fast!
Thank you Janice. Grands do make getting older fun!
Thank you my friend!
Your two little ones are just adorable! That birthday party was just perfect enough for a 1 year old to have a special day. The love surrounding her was not diminished one bit I am sure! I am missing my three dumplings amidst all this.
I cannot believe Emma is already 1! They grow so fast! What a joy!
Thank you Maria, they do grow so quickly. I know you are missing your three blessings, hopefully this will end soon!
Pam, What a lovely treat this morning to see such cutie pies enjoying a milestone birthday! Your princesses are adorable. A year has flown by. Emma Kennedy will soon be keeping up with Ella Mae.They’re beautiful in their pretty dresses. Bubble mowers are always a hit! The cakes and cookies look delicious. Love the decorations too. God has truly blessed you with a wonderful family. Stay safe and be well. Clara ♥️
Thank you sweet Clara. We have been blessed, God is good. I am so glad the post was a treat 💗💗
She is totally adorable! And a bubble blowing lawn mower? Oh, I wonder if our guys are getting too old for that. I know I would love it at any age!
Hats off to Alison. Those cookies look fabulous — so gorgeous (so does the cake). Is this her occupation or is she just one of the more remarkable home bakers I’ve ever seen. She could make a living doing that. What a wonderful day!
Thank you Jeanie. Allison is very talented and crafty, she is a high school math teacher. She was a civil engineer when she decided to go back to get a teaching degree. She is smart and talented!
What a sweet joy it was for you to share your darling grands with us and celebrating a first birthday too❤️🎁🎶Such a beautiful family indeed😍
Thank you so much Penny💗💗
Little girls are just the best and it’s so much fun doing for them. Your Emma is a lucky one to have such a clever mommy. Creativity seems to abound in your family.

are you contemplating a new, large capacity bubble-blowing mower for Butch’s next birthday? He would be gobsmacked
and grateful… These days, blowing bubbles is call for… Bless you for the Birthday delight.
