2 years ago today, my daughter was born. I was scared. I was afraid she would hate me. I was afraid I wouldn’t know what to do and that I would hurt her. Now, here we are, 2 years later, and she loves me, and she’s adorable and wonderful. I am so happy!
Her party was a huge hit. Yes, it was 50 degrees outside, and I had to bundle her up and cover up her pretty Minnie Dress, but she still had fun.
The cakes turned out great. I made 4 1/2-sheet cakes to make 2 double-layer 1/2-sheet cakes. I put a layer of strawberries between one of them, and just frosting between the other. My wonderful husband drew on the Minnie Mouse face on the strawberry one and the 2 and Jade’s name on the other, and I colored them both in. I made 2 dozen Mickey Mouse sandwiches. I made a pasta salad and a fruit salad. I made a vegetable tray and a cheese tray. I bought 2 platters and sodas and juices from Publix. We had tons of food left over.
Everyone loved playing in the beach volleyball pit (big sandbox), and even though it was cold, everyone looked like they were having fun.
The party hats didn’t stay on well with the 15 MPH winds, but the goody bags seemed to be a hit.
Jade loves all the gifts she got from everyone and had a great time playing with the family and friends that celebrated with her. Thank you so much to everyone! We are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends in our lives.
Now that that’s over, on to the next adventure. I have officially entered the Orlando Chili Cookoff on March 3. Mark your calendars to come vote for Beauty and the Beans and my Barracho Chili. More information to come later.
