I just got back from a week in Spokane visiting Juniper, where we celebrated her 2nd birthday with a Unicorn Party.
There were unicorn cupcakes, unicorn decorations, stuffed unicorns, blowup unicorns, unicorn books, a unicorn costume, and everyone got unicorn temporary tattoos. (Although mine has lasted through several showers and scrubbing. I hope it's really temporary!)
After the cupcakes were all eaten we decided to make a chocolate cake, with Juniper helping, of course. My daughter is so patient with her. She gave Juniper her own little bowl and cake pan and she mixed her own ingredients for a play cake while Mom made the real thing.
Another day we made chocolate chip cookies and set Juniper up to lick the spoon while watching a Grateful Dead video. We're raising that kid right!
She's a whirlwind of energy that left me exhausted! Here she is washing her animals, which she does numerous times a day. That girl must know the names of at least 50 animals! Another day we rode the carousel downtown.
I didn't get any hikes (or even walks) in because it was so cold and damp and gloomy. This was the view all week from the living room, which was brightened by my daughter's dried orange slice garlands. But Juniper's smiles and hugs made up for the lack of sun.
This was my view flying out of Spokane at sunset on my way home.
Have a colorful day
