Blessings

I have been blessed with 4 beautiful grandchildren. My youngest, Logan, will be turning a year old in a couple of weeks.

Keegan (3), Ella (almost 2) and Kayleigh (4) do not live close by so I cannot see them as often as I would like ...

In preparation of Logan's B-day party, I made his invitations ~ all 40 of them! Aren't they cute?

The Bashful Blue and Certainly Celery are a favorite color combination of mine. To breakup the color scheme a bit, I colored one of the balloons with Rose Red.
