We are in a hundred-year drought and have had record high temps this year, but of course on Miss Aurora's b-day party-day we have 58 and drizzly! But it was wonderfully memorable. The chill brought everyone out around the campfire, and made the coziness when we came back home (with the relatives) all that much more delightful. Aurora had her very first pony ride today and took to it like a true Texan. She also loved feeding the goats and petting the soft snuggly rabbit and tiny bantam rooster (they said they had the only friendly rooster in Texas but they were wrong! our Pepper is still awful sweet . . . )
Aurora's favorite gift might have been Frederico ferret--from Laurel! She also got lots of fun games and arts and crafts materials, a pop-up book about the desert, some red cowgirl boots . . . the list goes on!
I had fun making the cake and arraying it with a little pond and fence and trail, and plastic animals from Michael's. Aurora was sweet and gracious and held it together with great composure through the whole party, which is tough at her age! We were all thrilled that she was happy and enjoyed it all, as we had a turnout of almost 40 folks and she could easily have been overwhelmed!
Enjoy the photos!
