Today is the last time we’ll celebrate a child’s birthday who is not a teenager or adult, because Chickadee is now 12…almost a teenager!

We started the day with presents (of course):

We watched all three Descendants movies on Disney+ for the first time at Chickadee’s request…I really enjoyed the stories, the music, and the dancing! After that, I made her birthday dinner, which included recipes from Sonic the Hedgehog: The Official Cookbook. She picked “Pure Hydrocity,” a lovely blue drink featuring blue raspberry, lemon, and mint, and “Villain Subs,” featuring four kinds of Italian lunchmeat, homemade pickled onions, and hardboiled eggs. Both were delicious!

She asked me to make a Dalek-themed birthday cake…I think it turned out pretty well, and we had the perfect props!

The only downside to this birthday is that we all know Bunny has to go back to college tomorrow…but we’re so glad she could be here for both birthdays this week, and I had so much celebrating Chickadee’s special day today!
