You might have noticed that I haven’t been on social media very much over the past week. I have a very good excuse. We went on vacation and spent a week with our children in Washington. It was seven days of fun-filled adventures.
Emery, our precious granddaughter, celebrated her first birthday while we were there. I made her a “smash” cake and she loved it. Can you believe that she is already one? She is absolutely the best little girl in our world.
We visited the Skagit Valley Tulip and Daffodil Festival. It was incredible and smelled heavenly with more flowers than I've ever seen in my life! I will share more photos of the flowers on Dory’s special day this Friday.
After a trip to Leavenworth, Washington over the weekend, we stopped at the Snoqualmie Falls. It was a beautiful day to spend time with our loved ones.
There is nothing better than knowing your children are fantastic adults and have wonderful spouses to share their lives. We are so blessed ♥
I will share more photos and fun this week while I play catch-up on visiting everyone’s blogs.
What a beautiful place! And your granddaughter is a cutie!
ReplyDeleteI will celebrate my furst birthday the same way like your Emery... she is brilliant what a fabulous way to eat a birthday cake :o)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you got a chance to go out there. Grandchild cuddles are the best!
ReplyDeleteThe Snoqualmie Falls is super beautiful according to my mom. So glad you had a nice trip. I hope you boys lived through the torture of "camp".
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you went there since I saw that you were with your grand daughter. How wonderful and fun. Great pictures so far
ReplyDeleteEmery is a sweety! So glad you were able to spend her birthday with her and do some traveling.

ReplyDeleteI don't get on social media too much, so I didn't miss you there. LOL. But I did notice most of your blog posts this week were short and sweet, so thought something must be up!
