Next week, Noni turns two. We'll be in Pennsylvania, so we decided to celebrate her birthday with friends this weekend. We had a relatively small gathering, inviting her four closest friends and our next door neighbors, and it ended up being the perfect size: it was small enough that we could still gather at our house for dinner, but big enough to feel festive. The girls and our neighbor Hannah added to the festive feel by dressing up as Sesame Street characters and making menus for everyone (Big Bird Bread, Sunny Days Salad, Zoe Lasagna...) What did the birthday girl think? Well, after her Elmo cake was served, Noni declared, "I like Happy Birthdays!" And that was before she even knew about the presents...
Cookie Monster and Elmo's golfish, Dorothy
Oscar the Grouch
The birthday girl and Ethan, who said he was an astronaut, which could happen on Sesame Street...
Martha Stewart would be proud...
...but my friend Jane (of the famous pink platform boots) would make Martha Steward jealous with her cake...
Birthday girl!
