Happy Birthday Mei Lan

Yesterday, we attended a birthday party for a panda. It was the second birthday of Mei Lan, Zoo Atlanta's panda cub. Of course, she is no longer the baby, as on August 30, her mother Lun Lun birthed a little boy.

We all had a panda cookie, which had the unfortunate effect of turning our lips black. There was also a cake on display.





DD colored a Happy 2nd birthday Mei Lan picture, which a zoo volunteer folded into a fan for her.

Mei Lan had her own "cake" which was sort of like a big popsicle.



Today, I'm planning to stitch, and bake a cake and some cookies, with the aid of the new Kitchenaid mixer that recently came to live in my house.
