Good Shepherd's Garden Party ~ Week Five

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day! After Mass and fancy muffins and coffee, I spent the day working on a sewing project which I will talk about more later. My children make cards for me every year and I am always impressed with the sweet sentiments they express and their creativity. Admittedly, the girls' are a little more colorful and artistic, but my boys still find a way to tug on my heart strings with their pencil drawings and tiny lettering! We celebrated our Garden Party on Saturday and it was enjoyable. I still can't get my kids to taste an olive, but that's OK. I don't particularly care for them myself, why am I even bothering? :)

The Owl
After seeing Jessica's tiny little owl cake last year, we just had to make one this year. We put him in a hole in tree with a little crushed pretzel nest underneath him. I used crushed Oreos to make the bottom layer look like a hole.
