Day of Enchantment


Sea Star held its 2nd annual Day of Enchantment and it was even more magical than last year. Fairies, sprites, gnomes, elves, butterflies and all magical creatures got the opportunity to build fairy houses with natural, beautiful found items. A delightful puppet show was presented and all our magical little creatures then went on to have a sweet little tea party. What a fun day. The sprinklers just happen to come on at the end ... a delightful ending to a hot fairy day.

BOO BOO IS FOUR YEARS OLD!

I have to say that a four-year-old birthday party is the most fun party we've had to date. There's the understanding of what is to come, the anticipation, the joy of the planning and the excitement that keeps us awake all night before ... then, the big day!!! Here are some wonderful pictures of the big day and all our dear friends who came to celebrate Boo Boo's big day. We love you Boo Boo, and mommy and daddy are so blessed to have you in our lives.

The Party










We had such a wonderful time today. Boo Boo's party theme was a Fall Festival with apple bobbing, a fishing booth, sack racing, treasures in the haystack and caramel apple dipping. We asked what her favorite part of the day was and her response "all of it!". Oooh, don't forget the lemonade pump ... a special request from Boo Boo. Such a great day celebrating with our dear friends!!

Thanks to our dear friends for celebrating with us

THE BIRTHDAY SWEATER




Thanks to Aunt Susan, mommy's knitting skills are improving and I was able to complete Boo Boo's sweater just in time for her birthday. Here she is modeling it.

A Key West Birthday Surprise

Boo Boo has been wanting to go to Key West and see the cats at the Hemingway House. So, this was a big surprise for her.

Fun in the pool and lounging in the hammocks by the ocean
