There were TWO birthday people to celebrate
at our Spring Birthday Celebration this year!
at our Spring Birthday Celebration this year!
Bekah had been the lone birthday person every spring until Caleb was born. She was happy to have him join her, but he lives far away and probably won't join our local celebrations most years. But last year, sweet Joanna was born in the spring and now there are two bunnies to celebrate!
Ryan often calls Joanna "Bunny," and I called Bekah "Bunny" when she was little (and occasionally even now), so bunnies were the theme for this springtime party!

Bekah went up to the attic and fetched her childhood collection of bunnies. My mom gave her the aqua one when she was a baby, and it was on her bed during much of her childhood.
Mom also gave her this little bunny we used on the birthday table.
All of our cups were labeled with bunnies: Peter Rabbit, Big Nutbrown Hare, Rabbit (from Winnie-the-Pooh), and so on. I chose the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland because I am often late. (Oh dear.)
The "Bunnies" have a lot in common. They are both the babies of their families. They were born to mothers who were forty years old. They are springtime babies. They are/were very clingy to their moms.

What do you know? Wrapping paper antics revived!
Peter (with a Wrapping Paper Antics hat) served as Birthday Fairy at this party. (Macie and several in her family were sick and missed the party. π)

It was a sweet and special celebration, honoring our springtime treasures!
A lovely bunny-ish celebration!

Thank you, Deanna! Bekah was thrilled to have someone to share her party! (She is not a fan of being the center of attention.)
DeleteI will be sure to share with Peter your comment (and others') about his card! He is a boy of many talents!
Happy belated birthday to the two bunnies. I love the theme and the pet names for your loved ones. Wrapping paper antics looks so fun! I remember your son's antics in the past. Peter's card is darling and so sweet. Such happy and fun times in your home. Happy April!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Martha Ellen! It was a fun theme and easy to do at this time of year. Ryan is definitely the originator of Wrapping Paper Antics! :)
DeleteHappy April to you too! I'll bet your morning walks are a delight in this season.
Such a sweet celebration for two beautiful girls. The theme is perfect, and what fun to share Wrapping Paper Antics! A family tradition.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lorrie! It was a joy to celebrate these Bunnies! Yes, I suppose that Wrapping Paper Antics has developed into a family tradition. :)
