Celebrating...
Last night I mentioned that we received a special package in the mail yesterday, addressed to "The Cows".
Christina sent a birthday package for Dixie Cup, and today I was able to host a little celebration on the farm with the goodies from Christina and her Mom.
Here's the banner and handmade card Christina made, hanging proudly on the side of our barn, over where Dixie and Cup are in the side barnyard.
Cow Crossing! Moo!!
It's perfect! I think they are both a great addition to the barn!
Christina also sent along some homemade Cow Cookies, which she says were made with carrots, oats, soy butter, and maple syrup. They were a HIT!
Dixie and Cup enjoyed their cookies , and even shared them with the other cows and donkeys as well!
Here's a photo of Honey the hen enjoying some of the left over crumbs.
Thanks again, Christina! Your birthday package was a hit!
It just doesn't get any sweeter than that! You, your blog and your critters are such a hit with all age groups! That is such a special thing!

What fantastic artwork! I'd love a poster just like it that says "Tax Lawyer Crossing!" I wonder if Christina would take a commission! :) I mean seriously, wouldn't you want to be warned of a tax lawyer crossing! LOL! Mary

How absolutely sweet! Christina is certainly a budding artist and her poster shows what a huge heart she has also. Bravo Christina. Hmmmmm! Those Cow Cookies look pretty darned tastey. I love this blog and take my 'fix' daily. You are one blessed family Alan and Anna.
