Happy Birthday to you, Greta Lou!





















Hurray! Greta is Two! This Sunday we had a birthday party for Greta and filled the house with all of her best baby friends and adoring adults. Derek designed invitations just for the event with "Oswald" the blue octopus and his hot dog "Weenie". Greta loves Oswald more than I can tell you. We talk about him all the time. He is a great octopus with a heart of gold. BUT, finding Oswald party decorations is near impossible -they just don't make them! We did find perfect party hats and smiling daisies and streamers and balloons in all the right colors. I made cupcakes and a four layer apricot coconut cake that we served with chocolate ice cream and peppermint stick ice cream. We had hot cocoa with marshmallows and citrus orange vanilla punch...and Derek got a mini keg of Heineken for the dads and moms...but the punch was good enough for me!

Greta was thrilled when guests started arriving. They all played so nice together. I must go on record as saying that his was the most well behaved group of toddlers I have ever been around...every one shared and they were all smiles until the end...until the sugar wore off...and then it was time for bed!
