Our youngest grand announced that she wanted a surprise birthday party when she turned 5.
Her wish came true. It was a farm-themed party with a barn door made from a red plastic tablecloth, popcorn wrapped in cello bags and green tissue for corn on the cob and Rice Krispie treats labeled hay bales. Three large plastic horses, a plush pig stuffie and an old saddle rounded out the decor.
The birthday girl, wearing her fluffy pink pig costume, went on an "errand" with her dad to Tractor Supply. The rest of us then received an all-clear text saying, "The pig has left the building."
