I heart Faces-week 21

This week's theme at I ♥ Faces (http://www.iheartfaces.blogspot.com/) is Happy Birthday. Now I know that there is absolutely no way that I'll win with this entry. I seriously considered staging a birthday party so I could have a better entry, but I decided that it would take more time, money, and energy than I really wanted to put into it.

So here you go. My little Nolan again, this time at his 4th birthday. This was the most stressful party that turned out to be one of the best. The venue we were supposed to use flaked on me and I booked this indoor inflatable place at the very last second. They had just opened and we ended up with a private party because word had not spread about their existence yet.


I am adding a photo for the Pets category that I forgot about. This little guy hopped on through the neighborhood on Easter morning. Could his timing have been any better?

You can hop on over to and see some entries that are much more award worthy than mine.

cutsie...every time I try to get the animals outside they must know I'm inside setting up camera cause I sneak outside just in time to see them scurry off.

Perfect visitor for Easter.

Stage a birthday party, that's funny. I would take any excuse to eat birthday cake. In fact, last Sunday my three year old proclaimed that that day was her stuffed kitty's birthday. Sounds like a reason to bake a cake, don't you think? So ya, bake a cake, by all means!
Cute bunny. Easter morning? I hope someone's Easter basket was not empty.

Your Nolan is soooo cute. Great catch on the bunny. They never seem to sit still long enough for me to get them. ♥

Awesome bunny sighting! Even hopping through the pansies, you couldn't have posed him better. Nice job!

Josh, Steph, The Boys and Maddie said...

Can you believe that is the first bunny shot I have seen so far! He/she is adorable!

I really love how the effect frames his faces and makes it stand out. Cute picture.

Nolan is such a cutie! I love the focus on his face and the fuzziness all around - super neato! I know what you mean about staging a birthday party - both my little guys have birthdays in the next 5 weeks... Couldn't they have waited just a little longer for this category? ;)

All Things Family said...

Nice birthday pic...that's a tricky one to enter I think! Can't just run out and get a birthday pic with little notice! Kind of have to already have one in the vault!

Carmen said...

Both pictures are great.....love the bunny!

I like the softness around your kiddo's face in your first entry. How fun to see a bunny hopping on Easter, that great!

AJ said...

Oh, what a sweet Easter visitor! And I like the processing on your birthday picture :).

That picture of the bunny has to win something. It couldn't have been a better composition even if you had planned it.

That bunny shot is so perfect, it almost doesn't even look real!
