Little Bestie

The past month or so I've been so lucky to be able to spend some special time with my little bestie. Cadence and I have so much fun together. I'm so grateful I get to be her mom and friend.  If there is something Cadence loves it's an outing.  Any kind of outing.  She just loves to be busy doing something.

With the weather being so beautiful lately we decided to go for a little walk to the park. Since it was girls time we decided to take Daisy with us.

 

A favorite activity is going to restaurants.  One Saturday after grabbing groceries we decided to treat ourselves to lunch.

Then last week we headed to Cadence's last elementary school dance.  I can't believe she will be in middle school in September.  She is growing up so fast!

 

One of our favorite activities together is having tea parties.  As a surprise I invited my mom, sister and her two girls up to join us for a tea party.  It was so nice to be all together and I hope it will become a tradition.  We served herbal tea, pink lemonade; chicken salad mini tarts, cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches, tuna sandwiches and egg sandwiches; fruit; shrimp cocktail; veggies and dip; and mini lemon tarts, german chocolate mini cupcakes and chocolate fingers.

 Love that girl of mine!!

More Birthday Fun

Amongst the Atwood Birthday Season we also celebrated Ashton's girlfriend's birthday.  Ashton decorated the house to surprise her and even made her birthday cake.

 

He made her a vanilla cake with buttercream icing.  He had to improvise when he wasn't able to find matches to light the candles.

 Happy Birthday Cat!! We are so blessed to have you a part of our lives. Have a wonderful year!

Birthday Tea Party

Cadence didn't feel like a family birthday party was enough so she also invited a couple friends over for a birthday tea party.

The girls started by painting and decorating little cottages.  We had planned on a couple other activities as well but they were having so much fun crafting it took most of the time.  I even had to text both the girls moms to check that we could have them stay longer so we'd have time for the tea party.

 

Then it was time for the tea party, opening presents, a photo booth with lots of props and cake.  The girls had a great time.  One of the girls tried 5 different teas.

Happy 11th Birthday Cadence - We love you!!

 

Atwood Birthday Season 2025

January - May is Atwood Birthday Season.

The birthday sign goes up in January for Jason's birthday and then doesn't come down until May after Daisy's birthday and the anniversary of the still birth of our baby Kenneth (which coincidentally is the same day).

We had fun family celebrations for each one, with presents, food, and a great time was had by all.  Hope everyone has a great year.  Love you all!!
