For Valentines Day the kids informed me they were over chocolate so instead I gave them both a Beenie Boo.  Smallish stuffed animals that have big bright eyes and come with a tag that tells their name, a little poem, and their birthday.  Well apparently their seals - Icey - has a birthday now.  Immediately they circled the day on the calendar and told me in no uncertain terms that we were going to have to throw a birthday party for them.

So I'm always up for cake, why not really, I agreed.

The theme was decided, a menu was planned, friends were invited over. 

Yesterday we went to the dollar store where we bought an emoji tablecloth, some cups, plates, and napkins.
There was also an adorable tiny pinata so why not, we got that too and stuffed it with tiny easter eggs. 
The menu was tiny powdered donuts, tiny cupcakes, tiny birthday cake, strawberry milk, and then I threw in some fruit for good measure.

All their beanie boos were invited, the friends brought some of their own, and I sat and made tiny birthday hats for each stuffed animal. 
 The kids played, we broke the pinata, we sang happy birthday, and snacked away on treats.


Of course we sang happy birthday to the seals and cut the cake to share


And that's how we run on the weekend, we throw stuffed animal birthday parties and act like it's completely normal.  Ahhhh memories.
