Spring Celebration

In our home we celebrate spring (as opposed to Easter) as a time of renewal. This year's festivities included handmade decorations, lots of good food, and gifts and treats for all who attended. This was our first Spring party with little Elinor and we were very happy to have both grandmother's, a dear family friend, and her auntie there to share the day.

~Spring spread~

Which included an assortment of cheese and crackers, cranberry/mango/hibiscus punch, hummus and vegetables, quiche, salad with roasted beets, natural sodas, carrot cupcakes, chocolate bundt cake, baskets, party favors, and seasonal decorations.

~Decorative mama and baby sheep~

Each in their own tiny pasture. You can find the wheatgrass growing tutorial here. The process is simple, inexpensive and something fun that children can help with.

~Bunny cupcakes~

Carrot cupcakes with vanilla cream cheese frosting, there were no leftovers. I adapted the from Martha Stewart by doubling the frosting (I like a well frosted cupcake) and reducing the sugar in the cake batter by 1/3.

~Happy Thursday Everyone!~
