November 5: Our Mercy turned 8! She wanted a Mercy Watson party. This is one of her favorite book series which is hilarious to me since I never wanted to introduce it to her for fear that she would be quite *unamused* that the main character, Mercy, is a PIG. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
In the books Mercy’s favorite thing to eat is hot buttered toast. I thought it would be fun to make the cake look like a stack of buttered toast. I sliced up a pound cake and drizzled it with vanilla icing. I was worried the kids wouldn’t like it but again I was happy to be wrong.
September 10: Esther’s Golden Birthday, Ten on the Tenth! This year she had a “Golden” party….with a side of Horses. She loves everything horse.🐎 What she really wanted for her birthday was “to pet a horse.” We did one better and surprised her with a horseback riding lesson scheduled for next week. She was so excited. Grandma and Grandpa were were happy to add 4 more lessons on to that one!
