They threw Susannah a Fake Birthday Party the Saturday before her birthday, but the pictures of that party are inside a Long Island camera, so here are a few of the girls basking in the last minute-bits before they drove home.
Even Susannah wanted Grandma to read her a book.
Poor Susannah. She missed out on the airplane rides Grandpa gave, too. Then again, she did get her very own party.... and cake.
On her actual day of birth, John, the girls and I celebrated again, and Susannah got her second try at cake. She's getting to be quite the pro. I made her a nest and bird cake, but, unfortunately, the perky bird I made flopped and sagged, so I had to turn it into a sleeping bird. And the tail feathers fell off. And I didn't make enough frosting to cover the back. You know what, though? Susannah couldn't have cared less. See below.
Love the cake-and the doll eating it up! That last picture, Susannah has a very Annika-like expression. They are sisters, ya know.
ReplyDeleteBTW-the other day I was fretting over what type of cake to make for the Panda. He is so little that he has no real interests-nor can he request a cake...so I was stuck between a rock and a hard place. And then it occurred to me...a panda cake would do quite nicely!
There are definately good things that come with having children named like animals! ;-)
Funny how I didn't recognize the bib at first!
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet pictures!
ReplyDeleteThe cake was so lovely. Was that spagetti sticking out of the nest.
ReplyDeleteHer face in the last one is perfect.
Titi, the ingenious bib-shirt (and the sister bib-shirts you sewed and gave along with it) is quickly becoming indispensible, and I find it all too easy to forget what the epicurean life of babies was like without. Thank you again! (I can't wait until she eats oatmeal on her own; then, if possible, I'll like them even more!)
ReplyDeleteSandy,
Heavens, no, that isn't spaghetti!!!!
It's straw, of course.
