A Little House Birthday

Last weekend we celebrated Annie and Nora's birthdays with a Little House party! I think this might have been my favorite party yet. Honey made a birthday banner and we decorated with Lincoln logs and wildflowers. The cake was super-simple with pansies and it was yummy and pretty to look at. We had fabulous weather so after lunch (make your own ham sandwiches, pickles, pretzel logs, apples, and popcorn) and cake with ice cream the kids went outside to play games. We had three-legged races and tried to drop a clothespin in a bottle. Their hands-down favorite game was washing clothes the old-fashioned way! For favors the kids shopped at the "general store" for penny candy. I gave each child a dime and let them choose ten pieces to take home. Thank you to all our family and friends who came to celebrate with us! And Mama Rita, thank you for the sunbonnets--they were perfect!
