Double rainbow all the way across the sky!

– OMG! OMG! OMG!

Saebra decided she wanted a Double Rainbow Birthday. So, she got one.

We spent a week making a batch of ice cream each night, coloring it in sequence, and freezing it a spring-form pan. The whole thing was set on a crushed Oreo base.

Then we made rainbow cupcakes. A double cake recipe split into 6 portions, each colored and then spooned into cupcake papers in sequence.

The kids had a basket full of rainbow balloons to play with, faux tie-dying with markers and balsa wood gliders to toss into the sky.

She got lots of great gifts but my favorite is the dress that my sister made. She used a simple tank top and added a skirt, but what a skirt! Its made from this awesome rainbow fabric that she’s had in her stash for 15 years – I’ll try and get a pic of the girl wearing it

What did we get? One Happy Kid!

Happy 8th birthday baby-girl

You know – yesterday I found a bag of cookies in my cupboard that I had meant to use as a base for the boy’s cupcakes and I totally forgot

Above and Beyond, always for the ones we love
