Beatrix Potter's 150th Birthday

One hundred and fifty years ago today Beatrix Potter was born, today we celebrated her birthday. We started the day by having fun playing with our gorgeous Peter Rabbit and Jemima Puddle Duck toys in the play room. Then we set to the hard task of baking some supplies for our party tea - we made lemon cupcakes and rabbit shaped crackers.

After dinner we spent some time in the family room watching 'The Tales of Beatrix Potter' on DVD and looking through some of her beautiful books. We also played some Peter Rabbit board games.

We got crafty and made our own version of Mr McGregor's Peter Rabbit scarecrow to add to our vegetable patch.

Then it was finally time for our party tea. We loved our homemade rabbit crackers they were super yummy. It was lots of fun decorating our 'Mr McGregor's Garden Cupcakes', we think they looked fabulous.

The day wouldn't have been complete without a visit from our very own 'Peter Rabbit' aka Pingu, who popped in for some treats and cuddles to end the day.
