lela's birthday: part 2 of ?

All pictures are by my sister, Rebecca T. Jones.  

She had just gotten her new indoor lens, and the pictures turned out great!

 The birthday girl is FIVE!

~ the sweetest gift ever

 a miniature snowman 

gran and pop brought from virginia ~

A very simple sweet celebration with our friends from down the street.

~ a few of the girls, sitting on stacks on flooring! ~

~ lela and grace ~

note: there was a much better version of this photograph 

but food in the birthday girl's mouth does not a good picture make

And of course Gran, Pop, Grana and Aunt Bec were there!

~ make a wish ~ 

There was so many thoughtful gifts from friends and family. 

~ what is it pop? ~

~ a very sweet and amazing gift - a handmade plant field guide! ~

I plan to make a separate post on this one.

Here is the collaborative effort between Pop (my dad) and me.  

He made for Marina, Lela's Waldorf doll, a beautiful cherry bed.

I made the pillow, mattress and quilt.

Thank you for making Lela's 5th birthday so special!

Peace,
