Second pandemic party (happy 9th birthday, observed)

A year ago, I did not expect to host a second virtual birthday party for A. But here we are--making the best of it!

Over the past year, A has spent a lot of time playing Animal Crossing, which was a fabulous theme for a birthday. 

We made Animal Crossing "presents" to deliver these adorable cupcakes to a few local friends.

We wrapped up an Animal Crossing themed Bingo card with leaf confetti for a cute activity.

 

We also hosted a scavenger hunt and the kids worked together on an adorable, online jigsaw puzzle.

And of course, it wouldn't be her birthday without a fun themed chalkboard and t-shirt!

Once again, this wasn't the kind of celebration we would have chosen, but we are grateful to have celebrated another year of this amazing and resilient sweet girl.
