Flowers, Grandparents, and Kids - Oh My!

On Memorial Day we enjoyed a breakfast at R. Thomas followed by a trip to the Botanical Gardens.  R. Thomas is an interesting restaurant with a menu that slants toward healthy food, an interior that is very eclectic and a little funky, and lots of birds outside!  





 With fully bellies we headed to the Botanical Gardens and thoroughly enjoyed the sculptures as well as all the flowers!



A stop in the children's area gave them a fun time to run and play!







Grandaddy and Me Me had to leave for the airport that evening, but Sarah Graves managed to work in a little more time doing play-doh with Me Me!  

We had such a fun weekend and are so glad to get to visit with them!

Like most girls her age, Sarah Graves LOVES Frozen and has known for quite some time that she wanted a Frozen birthday party. I was so excited when I saw this invitation on Etsy and she loved it too! It reminded me of an infographic. The Frozen theme was a lot of fun! There were so many things to choose from that I took to pinterest and eventually decided on the ideas that I would use for this party. I found this great Arendelle banner here on Pinterest I was so grateful that my sister did a snowflake Christmas and had tons of snowflake ornaments to hang as decorations! This party theme was a lot of fun to plan the food. Kristoff's ice cubes were made from Jell-o with an ombre effect. I found the recipe here on Pinterest. I doubled the recipe to make a 13x9 size pan of it and I made 2 13x9 pans of it. The made plenty of "ice cubes" to fill 35 cups. They turned out really cute! My parents made this Elsa cake and did a fabulous job

Sarah Graves loves baking, watching baking shows, and has lots of ideas about cake decorating. She wanted to decorate her cake herself and made it a team effort with Lovie.  She was very proud of the finished product and learned that piping icing isn't as easy as it looks! For her party, friends went ice skating then came back to our house for food and cake! This guy we referred to as "Cat Man" skated around with his cat and at time with hold the cat under its front legs just above the ice and let it sway as he skated! The cat did not seem to mind...it sure did catch our attention! Pierced ears mean fun earrings! Aunt Lexie definitely picked fun ones with these rubber chickens! So many people love this sweet girl and showed up to celebrate her!
