We threw a real kids party for Greta's birthday. We did a little brunch (pancakes + fruit salad) and played games. I made cat tails for the kids to wear and we painted noses and whiskers onto their faces. We played "pin the tail on the cat" and "find the mouse" and the "hokey pokey." It was fun and cute!
I made a sugar-free, grain-free almond-raspberry cake using healthy fats. And it tasted healthy. I wasn't totally happy with how it turned out, but oh well. Maybe our taste buds need to adjust more? I dunno! It was a fun little experiment, but I won't lie, a big, chocolate cupcake would've been much tastier! I think we'll likely do sugary birthday cakes in the future unless I find something that's good enough to be healthy and to celebrate birthdays! Always fun to try something new.
I loved having us all sing Happy Birthday to Greta and watching her as she looked around at all the people singing to her. She looked so happy and so flattered. Greta totally crashed after her party and spent the rest of the day with post-party-blues. Oh that girl! And Holly is ready for her birthday to roll on through!
