Beginning of Birthday Stuff

The Twinkles have been celebrating their birthday w/ a dear friend for several years now. Yesterday,  we celebrated their 6th birthday (which is officially Saturday - but more on that later) w/ a cowgirl birthday party! First stop was a barn in which they were led on a horse named Gris. Then off to their friend's house to celebrate w/ the other little girls from church. Here are some pics of the event.

I made the girls new dresses, and then we presented them w/ new (to them) cowgirl boots!

Meggie was a bit more of a model today.  Here she is sporting her new dress and boots.


Madeline's melodious laugh filled the barn as she took her turn on horse back.

I thought Megan would be a bit shy (scared to death!) about the horse, but she hopped right up and enjoyed herself immensely!

Later at the party the girls decorated horse shoes. Quite a beautiful treasure from their day!

  2. Fabulous! When my daughter turned 3 we had a friend bring her small horse to our backyard and had what we dubbed the pony party! Grandma made her a cowgirl dress out of red and white gingham too... she sewed bells in the tulle underskirt, perfect for a 3 year old!

    I love the shot of the boot line up.

    Blessings, Debbie

  7. How sweet! Love the dresses, Keri. We were just a "Western" themed wedding for some members of our church last Saturday, and most of our church members (including us) got all dressed up with cowboy boots and hats as well. It was a fun day. It looks like your girls had quite a fun day themselves. :) Happy birthday Megan and Madeline!

  11. Those dresses are so nice and the girls look very sweet also. I have twin daughters, age 20, and they are seamstresses. They've sewn quite a few western dresses lately, but this one might beat the ones they found. I'll have to show them this one.
