Birthday Party Take 2, But 1

Is that title confusing to anyone else? Okay, I’ll explain. If there is one thing I can tell you about my baby girl it is that she is loved. She is loved by a lot of people. We got involved with our diving group in 2013 when we got certified and they are a second family! Or really, they are family. That’s the best way to describe it. And baby girl got herself one heck of a family! So her birthday was on Sunday, but that Saturday we were at the lake for the Safari Hunt. That evening, we had a small birthday party for her at the lake for those who couldn’t make her birthday party on Sunday. So this kid had 2 birthday parties, this was the first and her actual birthday date was the second. Therefore, Birthday party 1, but post 2. Did you follow all of that? If not, just know my baby girl has one heck of an awesome family both blood and personally added!

We’re a lively bunch, I tell ya! Watch out for us!

So during the Safari Hunt, she played hard. Eventually she took a nap. We got her back up to Deb and Grady’s camper without waking her up and I got her on their couch so she took about a 2 hour nap. When she woke up, I’m not sure she was ready, so she cried and cried. The only person who could console her was daddy!

I made cupcakes for the lake. My goal was to make them Minnie Mouse.

I made Almond Vanilla Sugar Cookies and decorated them. I’ve never decorated sugar cookies with the flood icing before. That was a treat/experience. I wasn’t totally happy with how they turned out, but I was okay with how they turned out if that makes sense. And no, that isn’t Tigger, it’s Goofy… Tigger isn’t part of the Mickey Mouse Club House.

We had a good assortment of food here too. Pulled Pork sandwiches, chips, and a fruit salad. But the best part, anyway in Abug’s opinion, the presents. After the two parties, she has enough Minnie Mouse to last a lifetime. Watch, next week she won’t like Minnie Mouse……
