chanda is eleven today. we usually wake early and have a birthday breakfast with greg before he leaves for work. however, this morning instead of making breakfast, we made sandwiches for a birthday ice skating party at bryant park. we made cucumber sandwiches, goat cheese and olive sandwiches, cream cheese and olive sandwiches, and brownies for dessert.
we got to the rink around 8:45 am. since it was such a cloudy day, and looked like it would rain, there weren't many people. we and a few other intrepid skaters had the rink to ourselves.
chanda had worked diligently on blanket stitching the felt leaves to be given out with leaf cookies for the goody bag. morgana helped with the sewing and also with the cutting out. i made the cookies: butter cookies from my mom's recipe, and butter gluten free cookies from elana's pantry.
the leaves make nice bookmarks, window or christmas tree ornaments.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Chanda!
