21 January 2025

Happy birthday to Rosebud!  She set a record this year with THREE birthday parties.  When she and I started talking about planning a friend party for her, she said that if she invited all of her school friends and church friends that it would be too many people for her.  So we had two parties, one for each group.  But we started with a family party!

Rosebud wanted pudding for her "cake" and asked if she could set up a teddy bear picnic in the forest.  We made trees out of rice krispie treats and scattered mini m&ms for flowers.  And then she played "Happy Birthday" on her ukelele while we sang!

Happy birthday, Miss B!

 
School party: this time the teddy bears had a picnic on an island in the ocean (colored vanilla pudding), with Swedish fish and a campfire!

 
Church party: now the teddy bears are tubing down a river.  This time the pudding was made with oat milk because of allergies among the guests.

The second friend party was a repeat of the first, so it was not much additional work.  We had them back to back, on Friday night and Saturday afternoon, and I think Rosebud felt celebrated!
