Happy birthday all over again, Nora!

What a weekend of excitement! As if last Saturday's birthday dinner was only an appetizer, this weekend held the fun and frenzied play of a visit from James, Luke, Aunt Carrie, Uncle Eric, and Grandma and Toot Toot. When this many of us get together, we don't even have to go anywhere special to have fun. Hours of play, food, and each other is special enough.

Nora wanted a frog cake, and is partial to my recipe for Wellsley frosting, so she wanted a brown frog. Yum! We had a wonderful time, and Nora scored a pony with long hair for brushing and styling, and a refrigerator gear game, and a stack of handmade doll clothes plus accessories for Jenny Moon from Grandma and Toot Toot, and a bag that should hold her wardrobe from Fiona. Fi picked out the pattern and fabric, and Grandma sewed it all together. Wow! A big weekend for our big girl. Everybody else, too!
