I am constantly trying to update our traditions so I don't keep the ones that are more for younger kids. Harry Potter's birthday celebrations is as much for me as for anyone, so that one we are keeping! This year McKay and Lincoln were both with friends, so Josh and I celebrated together.
I made ham and Swiss Ministry of Magic letters. They turned out super cute and yummy!
We also had French onion soup. I've always wanted to try it, but held off because Josh doesn't like onions and I don't like soggy bread. It is referenced in Harry Potter 7 and it always makes me want to have it. So we did it this year. It was pretty good.
I couldn't do the soggy bread part though, so this is how I had mine.
Not looking too cute because I spent the whole day cooking! I'm glad that Josh took a picture of me though, to prove I was there.
Watching Harry Potter 1 and eating dinner. We decided to watch them all over the next few weeks.
Must have the birthday cake!
The cockroach clusters are everyone's favorite.
Licorice wands (we tried orange cream licorice this year).
Chocolate (and peanut butter) frogs.
McKay came home late and had some goodies.
We had so much food we had it for the next few days as well.
Lincoln got home too late on HP birthday for me to take a picture of him eating his snacks, so I got one of him later. It's so fun to have him around to celebrate things with us!
