Miya's 11th birthday

For the second year running Miya had her birthday in Covid-19 lockdown.  After all the months of Covid-freedom it's an unfortunate coincidence to be in lockdown at the same time of the year again.

Fortunately we'd already had the big birthday activity, when we did the ninja warrior course at Jump.  But we did miss the extended family in-person get-together.

On the bright side, at the Zoom party on Sunday we got to eat all the birthday cake while the others watched on.  Miya is starting to do a lot of cooking, and this year she baked her own birthday cake -- chocolate with mint-chocolate icing.  Very delicious!

The grandparents gave Miya a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle (socially-distanced delivery with the grocery exchange).  By this morning the puzzle was complete.  Miya and I mostly worked on it together, with Mulan helping occasionally during schoolwork breaks.
