Where hope grows, miracles blossom.

Hope is a waiting dream.
Never stop hoping and dreaming!

Hope is the ability to hear the music of the future.
Faith is having the courage to dance to it today.

President's Day Celebration

President's are really big around here right now; all 44 of them.

All of the president's up to Jimmy Carter + Ronald W. Reagan have gone to heaven.

Franklin D. Roosevelt has eyes that look like a cameleon's having a meeting (??  I don't understand that one, either.)

Our day started with a full Presidential menu:

The Menu

Our breakfast began with "Ronald Reagan Rainbow Pancakes"

The batter

The baking

Flipped

Plated

Stacked and ready to eat!    
We were only allowed 11 pretzels for "James K. Polk Pretzels" because he was the 11th president.

Following lunch, we had our dessert of cake (photo to follow - as soon as I figure out how to get it off my phone!)  It was (no longer in existence) a yellow bundt cake with chocolate frosting and primary color sprinkles.  We were only allowed one candle and the center of the cake had the Presidential Seal.  In order to be served a piece of cake you had to pick a president that you wanted to be while you ate it -- no repeats!

All 44 presidents attended (that would be all 44 stuffed animals) and T-Man had extended family come to join him for lunch and dessert.  He was very excited to share the festivities with others!

And, yes, I remember trying to learn the Presidents' names while looking for Macys and the caramel popcorn store in Chicago! We should have had Tyler with us!
