Summer Postcards: a July series capturing snapshots of my favorite month
Special guests: my nieces who traveled six thousands miles to be here this month
Location: in and around HOME and BARN
Format: Instagram (follow username mayamade for sneak peeks)
Opening gifts in the meadow
opening gifts in the meadow... black parasol and all
A mini bday bunting for tonight's cake!
a quick mini cake topper bunting (which briefly caught fire in the candles for added excitement)
Decorating
handmade decorations, but of course
Tried an true bday fun
tried and true birthday games (those spotted arms? markers and tattoos)
Searching for the right piñata tree.
including the fastest little rainbow piñata ever whipped up (more details at a later date)
Just right
and the day wouldn't have been complete for this tree-climbing birthday TEEN without...
a tree!
