My Baby Girl turned 11

Beatrix Potter Party

My BABY turned 10!!!

 Watercress sandwiches, and strawberry jam sandwiches

 

Cucumber Water, Lemonade, Chamomile tea

“Peter was not very well during the evening. His mother put him to bed, and made some chamomile tea:" {Peter Rabbit}

 Tea cart with tea, with muffins and pie (strawberry, instead of mouse)

"Once upon a time there was a Pussy-cat called Ribby, who invited a little dog called Duchess, to tea.

"Come in good time, my dear Duchess" (said Ribby's letter), "and we will have something so very very nice. I am baking it in a pie-dish—a pie-dish with a pink rim. You never tasted anything so good! And you shall eat it all! I will eat muffins, my dear Duchess!" wrote Ribby."

 DoNUT Acorns for Squirrel Nutkin

 "Eating the berries they picked. But Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail had bread and milk and blackberries for supper." {Tale of Peter Rabbit}

"{Peter} rushed into the toolshed, and jumped into a can. It would have been a beautiful thing to hide in, if it had not had so much water in it. Mr. McGregor was quite sure that Peter was somewhere in the toolshed, perhaps hidden underneath a flower-pot. He began to turn them over carefully, looking under each.Presently Peter sneezed — “Kertyschoo!"" {Tale of Peter Rabbit}

 "This is a nice gentle Rabbit. His mother has given him a carrot." {Fierce Bad Rabbit}

"An old mouse was running in and out over the stone doorstep, carrying peas and beans to her family in the wood. Peter asked her the way to the gate, but she had such a large pea in her mouth that she could not answer." {Tale of Peter Rabbit}

 "The squirrels filled their little sacks with nuts" {Tale of Squirrel Nutkin}

 Abigail's Carrot Cake, that she made and decorated herself, and a pudding garden

 Favors for our guests- Beet and carrot seeds

 The inspiration, and cheddar bunny crackers

 

And we even arranged for some REAL bunnies to visit for the children to play with!

Assassin's Creed Party

My firstborn turned 15!

And my  boy put together most of his party, and all of his costume by himself! So proud of him!

Ranger's Apprentice Birthday Party

Andrew chose "Ranger's Apprentice" as his party theme.

 

My 11 year old Ranger

 

We chose a medieval looking backdrop,

 

and we made a chandelier.

  

We used metal {actually plastic made to look like Metal} and wood utensils and serving dishes, to be authentic.

 

With Ranger Apprentices around, you never know where you may find an arrow

 In the wall, or in the cake!

 I printed out selections from the book, to put near key themed items, since most of our guests had not read the series

  

Our cake was an archery target

 Oak Leaf cookies

 

Dried meat and dried fruit

 Chub's Pies

 Of course we had stew

 

Halt's Boar

 Cider made from Tug's apples

Rangers love coffee, sweetened with honey {We actually served hot chocolate}
