The Birthday Bash At Martha er… Mary Ann’s
Mary Ann kindly hosted the Aries Baby Bash yesterday. Lucky for me she lives just a few blocks away so I donned my iPod and walked over (stupid me - had to hitch home because of too many gifts). She went all out. She accepted little help from anyone and had the most incredible feast and fun activities for us all. She kicked it off with an egg hunt! It was one day after Easter after all…
Each of us had ten eggs to find that were coded with stickers. This meant we all got the same sorts of things in our eggs. No one got more chocolate than anyone else, thus avoiding any vicious fights over eggs. She knows us all too well, LOL! It was fun being a kid again and hunting those eggs. Plus, it was a great excuse to roam her gorgeous yard and garden. Granted, it is early spring and it wasn’t at its peak of beauty, but there were a few blooms that made an appearance for the festivities.
The great spread of wonderful breads, deviled eggs, spanikopita, salad and fruit salad wasn’t all we had to eat either. She baked TWO BIRTHDAY CAKES! A carrot cake which I was told was to die for. Even a self-proclaimed chocoholic opted for seconds on that rather than trying the chocolate chiffon with berries cake. I’m not a fan of carrot cake (I know, the horror - I’m leary of nuts in baked goods) but the chocolate chiffon with berries was phenomenal! That said, I haven’t had a cake made by Mary Ann that wasn’t. I’m not a coconut person either and I loved her German chocolate cake she made for birthdays a few months back.
