Yee-hawing with family & friends

 

Proudly presenting (in a horse shirt so ugly that I couldn't help it. Must-have H&M.): 

Step one: the family. Granddads and grandmothers Short and Shorty, aunties and uncle.

Spitting out candles. Tradition.

Cake with horse meat.

Edible beauty.

A real cowgirl goes to sleep with her boots on. Normale.

Step two: the party.

Well, hello! My carrot cake fitting Oh. SO. Perfectly.

Drrrrinks. Carrot Juice? Let's not exaggerate.

Give-aways!

Cupcakes. Traditions, traditions.

Thanks to Brittany from Edible Details: miniature hats and boots, same colors as original.

My pride this year: homemade carrot cookies.

I'm very proud of myself. Yes.

Table. Eek!

And my paper carrots! Double-Eek!!

And my new camera, blending the background very nicely. Triple-EEEK!!!

Macarons. Round like the party theme dots you can spot here and there.

Most important! Happy and excited guests!

The pinata is Mexican and therefore REAL. A big thank you to our Mexican neighbor.

Poor caballo. That was one short life.

Cowboys and girls.

Horse treats.

Lia with Sternchen. Bestest pony ever.

The places you will go, Peanut.

Sternstunden mit Sternchen. To you, dear Lia! Chamsa, tfu.

And an extra-big thank-you-hug to Brandy,
who sent us the original cowgirl outfit from the States.
She is always supporting our craziness. Which for her is actually NORMALE.
Crazy girl.
