Ingrid is telling the world about the wonderful cupcake she's enjoying. She calls it a cookie because she hasn't mastered the word "cupcake" yet, but we all know what she's talking about.
We had quite the dinner party last night thanks to her big sister who spent the day here, helping me decorate and cook.
We started off by taking all the ornaments off the Christmas tree and replacing them with multicolored silk flowers, mostly red tulips. She set the table, using a green and white checked cloth, covering that with orange place mats. We used white dinner plates and finished up with pink and purple plastic utensils from her tea set. She had decorated the cupcakes earlier with gumdrops and put one for each of us by our place at the table, again using plates from her tea set. The centerpiece was a bouquet of orange silk tulips and let me tell you, the table was magical :o) We served hotdogs, broccolli, apple balls, which are balls scooped out of apples using the gadget you use with watermelon, baked homemade french fries, and for dessert, our homemade fudge cupcakes. We had a wonderful day and I think today will be spent washing frosting off the phone and assorted pieces of furniture. Oh how lucky I am that I am a grandmother.
