A Quarantine Birthday

I gotta tell you  I was only minimally prepared for the April birthdays when we went into quarantine.  I guess I was a little bit in denial like everyone else that it would go on as long as it has....but we are rule followers so we've really tried to follow the rules and stay put.

Well then it was April 2nd and we were supposed to be celebrating a birthday.  So we just went through the "extra" stuff in our house and look at how it turned out.

Yep, we found an "L" balloon that we turned into a 7 and a six balloon we turned into a 9.

We were celebrating this yound lady's 79th birthday

We also had a random assortment of balloons that the girls blew up in various sizes and used a pipe cleaner to hold them together in the shape of flowers

Now the gift situation was a little more challenging

We had this cute little note block from Letterfolk

Block Note

Letterfolk has lots of cute products so we had already snagged this for her.

Then since her friends and all of our family have always called her  "Honey" we couldn't resist these 

This was her gag gift.  They were on Clearance at Nordstrom and we quickly added them to the cart.  Why in the world anyone would mass produce a bedazzled earring that says HONEY, we have no idea.  But it was perfect for us and she thought they were funny.

Now if you see her out in public in these.....I need you to let me know.

Her last gift was a home generated

It's her favorite place and I know as soon as this is over she will enjoy perusing the aisles again.  Of course, by then I will secure her a real one.

We made this cake

It is the Pioneer Woman's Top Secret Chocolate Cake.  It was super easy and very good.  

She was a good sport about our pulled together party.  

Thankful that she is here with us and we were still able to celebrate her big day!

Have a great weekend.....make the best of every day!
