This was her 1st birthday celebration last year and for some reason it feels like it was only yesterday. Time goes so fast.
Today this little sweetheart is 2 years old. She continually adds joy and laughter to our family.
Tonight her and her family are coming for dinner on the porch. Since she loves ice cream, I decided to create this dessert to serve as her birthday cake. I bought the green plastic bucket with orange shovel at the dollar store. Washed it with hot soapy water, filled it with balls of vanilla ice cream. Drizzled chocolate syrup over the ice cream, covered with graham cracker crumbs(to look like the sand on the beach). I took gummy starfish and placed them on the cracker crumbs. I used a bamboo skewer and a circle cut out of paper, to create the beach umbrella.
Added two candles, put in freezer until it is time this evening to sing "Happy Birthday!" to her. When that time comes, we will give her the orange shovel and let her dig into the bucket of ice cream.

Great idea! I have a two year old grand baby birthday coming up in August, I might borrow your cake idea!
oh my word, I love the beach bucket of ice cream!!! I'll have to try that someday... hopefully it will be more of a success than the cinn. rolls! :)
BRILLIANT! Clearly that's what you are! BRILLIANT! I heart this idea and I think I'm going to do this! THANK YOU!
Another great idea from Judy's files! I have no grand's celebrating over the summer months...but maybe we don't need a birthday to try this one out.
Happy birthday to your sweet two-year-old!
Absolutely priceless. That is a very creative way to serve the ice cream. We had a 10th birthday today, but the guest of honor is gone on vacation. We got to talk to her on the phone tonight. Sweet 10 years of Holly. Blessings
