A 'Duck and Goose' Party

Dear Panda,
This past weekend we celebrated your first birthday with a 'Duck and Goose' themed birthday party. You have loved 'Duck and Goose' by Tad Hills since you received your first book at 6 months. Every day we read all the books in the series at least twice (sometimes more).  

We had these two made specially for you by Eek Creations (Thank you!). When you opened them up you had the biggest smile and made sure that they both received big wet kisses.

One of your gifts was Author Tad Hill's latest book, " Duck and Goose Go to the Beach". You cried and refused to open another present till we read the story.

Planning the food was especially fun. Your cupcakes were topped with mini rubber ducks. There were twigs for nests (pretzels), and chocolate eggs, a rainbow of fruit, and even an octopus made from a bell pepper. I justified that last one as fitting with your birthday theme because the latest book was about the beach. It was so cute that I just had to make it.

Decorations were easy, we just set out your books. 

You are loved by so many people. Happy birthday my little Red Panda.....

And may more!

Shine on.

Love, Mum~
