While we were in Aspen for spring break, Mark was home building a wooden playset complete with fort and swings. To be clear, he built this from scratch. There was no kit. This new toy provided the focal point for Savannah's old fashioned and simple backyard birthday party.
An egg toss and potato sack race completed the agenda.
Notice that it was an amazingly beautiful day with warm weather and sweet scented wisteria on our arbor blooming just in time to frame the party. A breeze gently blew every now and then awakening the wind chimes while children happily entertained themselves (aka wore themselves out so the adults could get a break).
It was a good party!
Savannah herself was dressed in bright polka dots and an unusual bow. Someone said it looked like something out of Dr. Seuss. I totally agree. What could be more Savannah?

soo cute!! who made the cake?
Baskin Robins made the cake. She requested a sherbert ice cream cake. It sounded gross to me but it turned out to be not too bad. But the bummer is that she went with me to Baskin Robins to pick the cake up and now she knows such a place exists!
What a cute party! The look on her face as the cake is presented is priceless!
Happy belated birthday! I thought of her that morning...can't wait to see Mark's project!
