Create & Celebrate

-
 

To celebrate Sarah's 8th birthday she invited some friends over for an art party; complete with a painting lesson by a professional artist.


The girls had a great time learning from Miss Sara and creating their very own masterpieces.


I was amazed at how quiet & calm these normally energetic bunch of little girls were as they concentrated and tapped into their imaginations to create a masterpiece.


The calm quickly turned to giggles & squeals of delight when they were able to create with food.


Decorating mini cupcakes & an ice cream sundae that is.  I wish I had captured their excitement to be in control of the spray whip cream, without a grown-up telling them it was too much; that & the Pop Rocks for toppings were sure a hit.

 
Happy Birthday Sarah!
We are glad we could create & celebrate with you!

  Grateful for milestones that bring family together...Last Saturday my brothers and I gathered to celebrate our Dad's 80th birthday!!! After 80 years on earth my Dad's body continues to be strong (mostly) while his memory continues to fade. For a man who is a planner and organizer he struggles to live in the moment and be content...I guess when you don't have current memories to reflect on, you dream and imagine your future. Inspite of his current reality we enjoyed a few hours celebrating together, laughing, sharing and watching him relive his glory days with near clarity. Watching him watch himself play football and talk and share about the players and the plays brought out part of my Dad that has been hidden for years!

Over the years we have moved away from one another, haven't always stayed in close contact with everyone but being together I felt the love that comes from being family! To my mom family is everything and it is her love for us individually that radiates and unites those around her! My mom is a little energizer bunny sharing, serving, living, loving, experiencing, adventureing and enjoying every moment of every day! She definitely is not 80 years old but 80 years loved!!! And on her way to many more!! From three awesome Andruski kids... ...to this beautiful bunch... ... combined 17 years ago with the Browns makes for a wonderful group of great people to love one special lady! A highlight of celebrating my mom was to spend time in the temple with her and many of her posterity...it was a very special family sealing session (three actual...
