The Big 5-0

In July, we celebrated my dad's 50th year with a {surprise} birthday party.

No party is complete without a gorgeous cake.

Or a giant candy table.

I had a mini-affair with this candy table.

See?

The weather celebrated with us.  Mother Nature graced us with a double rainbow.

My gorgeous cousin.

My favorite picture of the night.  It truly captures their friendship.

My cousin enjoyed the candy table too.

We played some games, such as peek-a-boo.

They were as delicious as they were beautiful.

And one more of the table...

Happy 50th dad!

The Beauty of the Aloha State

Recently my husband and I visited Hawaii on our honeymoon.  I was struck by the natural beauty of the islands.  One of the most fascinating spots we visited was Waimea Falls in Oahu.  The botanical gardens were blooming with bright colors. 

Unfortunately, I don't know the names of these amazing flowers.  But they sure are fun to look at.

Celebrate Good Times

The engagement of my sister and her fiance was a wonderful gathering at her in-laws-to-be's house in Little Compton.  A relaxing night overlooking the Atlantic.

Beach was the theme

And Can Jam was the game

I can't resist brightly colored gerbera daisies.

My model.

Here's to many more good times!
