Cyan's Pioneer birthday party went smashingly well!
She and I put together a ton of good old fashioned fun. Tin can telephones, tin can stilts, chickens running in the yard, feed sack races, churning butter, and dancing to fiddle music were our main attractions.
We had a wonderful lunch of chicken salad, baked beans, corn on the cob, fresh watermelon and blueberries with homemade lemonade.

Our bed quilts and roses from the garden mixed with wildflowers from the side of the road were our only decorations.

Warm pie strait from the oven was served instead of cake (at the birthday girl's request) and we all enjoyed homemade whipping cream along with it.

What a great party! Looks like you had a beautiful day for it. Does Alex have one planned or is he too old for parties now?
