The Santa Ynez Valley has been so amazingly beautiful this year. The wildflowers are back and things are green. It puts everyone in a good mood.
Of course I got a year older in Jan.
Then in Feb. some of the old group got together for stitching...It has been way to long...
Then of course there was the Madison birthday month full of celebrating that even went in to this month . The amazing Jone Hallmark made this mermaid, rainbow cake topper that is so awesome. Madison was blown away! 
Then there was the party with all her classmates when Rey and Kylo Ren from Star Wars showed up and taught all the kids to use a light saber...so awesome.
Then we had a beach party with this birthday mermaid....
....with a quick trip to Disneyland while Jill took a weekend long course for her work.
tis is Jedi Training. Madison fought Darth Vader on the stage...no fear!
But I have to say I think the topper was all the news on the L.E. front...She and Par are engaged and moving to Portland!! Love those guys!!
