Grandma Joycie's birthday is in July, and we knew she would enjoy an evening at the theatre seeing the Musical Production of Mary Poppins. It was playing in Orange County so we bought tickets, gathered everyone together, and headed through the tumultuous traffic of So Cal. Arggh.
We spent the weekend on beautiful Balboa Island, across the bay from Newport Beach. Once you park your car on the Island, you don't get into it again until you go home. Or in this case, until you leave for the theatre.
We took the opportunity to enjoy our birthday treats while we were enjoying the sun. The breeze was a bit strong and we didn't light the candles on these brownie pops, so we wished Grandma Joycie a happy birthday and bit in.
Many of my children's summer days were spent along this gently lapping waterline, and I couldn't resist getting a shot of my brownie pop enjoying the same cool water. Almost more fun than creating these little treats is photographing them.
And look at the little person footprint! So cute.
Chatting away with Grandma, daughter number three demonstrated that these treats are worth repeating in the future. And the musical later that evening? As I expected. "Mary Poppins, practically perfect in every way."
Happy Birthday Wishes to Grandma Joycie!
From your family and XOXO Cookies
