"Both abundance and lack of abundance exist simultaneously in our lives as parallel realities. It is our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend...when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present- love, health, family, friends, work, joys of nature, and personal pursuits that bring us happiness- the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience heaven on earth."

Cousin Samantha's B-Day

In November, Samantha invited us to her birthday party (via her mom of course), and she got to have a teddy bear picnic.

They decorated hats for their bears- which Halle loved.
Then they listened to a story about a teddy bear picnic.

And then had their own picnic with their bears.
For dessert, Anneka made adorable cupcakes with bear faces on them.
Cute ideas, Anneka. It was a lot of fun.
After the guests left, we stuck around to play for a little while.
