Strawberry Day

When Luna's Oma was a little girl, she told her mother that she wished she could eat as many strawberries as she wanted.  So Luna's Great Oma decided that every year June 27th (their wedding anniversary) would be Strawberry Day.  And Strawberry Day is a day where everybody gets to eat as many strawberries as they want!  We were excited to adopt the tradition this year.

So Luna started the day with strawberries in her cereal...

We included this little surprise note in her snack box at school.  It had strawberries on it, of course.

I wrote it in German so that her teacher could read it to her.

Our bountiful supply...

Dinner was a strawberry and watermelon salad.

Tess had more adventures in baby led weaning with some watermelon.

Not exactly strawberries for her on this strawberry extravaganza, but watermelon was a bit easier to grab on to!

Yes, it was very messy.

But she loved it.

Even had to lick the bib for dessert.

And for dessert, we had these little strawberry "shortcakes."  I had a full day, so I used store bought shells.  They were still nummy.  Or perhaps I should say Lecker! (Dutch for yummy!)

Strawberry Day...

was a...

huge success!

Except I thought yesterday was the 27th - so we ended up celebrating a whole day early!  Oh well, we'll get it right next year!  Happy Strawberry Day everyone!
