We had a birthday BBQ with the families this weekend to celebrate the kids' birthdays. It's so nice now that the kids are older and they are such good little helpers. Their favorite party task was to help make rainbow fruit skewers:
We used strawberries, pineapples, green grapes, and blueberries to make the rainbows and marshmallows to make the clouds. Sean was eager to sample the blueberries - California blueberries - and his immediate reaction was, "SOUR!"
After more food prep, cleaning, lunch, and naps, it was party time!
The birthday kids:
The kids had a great time, playing outside with each other, our neighbors' kids, and their
Sean requested a cookie cake from Shoprite for his birthday cake (easy-peasy - I love him!)
And Clare requested this cake, which she saw on the label of the can of pink frosting we used for her school cupcakes.
I tried my best and Clare was pleased :-)
After "Happy Birthday" and cake and fruit, the kids were ready to open presents! Afterwards, they played some more and then just as the last set of guests left, it started to rain - what good luck we had that the weather held off!
Happy Birthday!!
