My son wanted Mario and my daughter wanted foxes. I thought my solution tying them together was clever, but no one at the party seemed sufficiently impressed.

edit: I should have specified, these are mini sandwiches, not cookies. The colors are from food dye markers.

    Sorry to hear that. I am impressed. My parents never put that much effort into anything like that for me.

      My parents are great, and they did a lot for me, but they didn’t put in any extra effort on things like birthdays.

      I go all out for my kids’ birthdays. Like for my daughter’s third birthday, I transformed the house into Elsa’s ice palace. I built the exterior out of cardboard and a roll of blue plastic tablecloth, two stories tall, hanging from our indoor balcony. Then I bathed the living in blue light, covered it in snowflake decorations, and turned the AC way down.
