Miriam actually turned 11 on our final day at the cabin. So she go to unwrap one present there in the morning:

Then she unwrapped another after we got home and retrieved the Amazon-delivered package from Grandma and Grandpa Scott who had kept it safe at their house.

Miriam's new ukulele.
Then we held two separate family birthday dinners: one for the Grover side and one for the Scott side. You can't be too careful with a worldwide pandemic still wreaking havoc. We had the Grovers (Grandma Susan, Grandpa Dennis, Grandma Hendricks, Aunt Rachel and her family) over on Sunday, March 28 and ate chicken enchiladas and chocolate turnovers. Then Miriam unwrapped a few more presents.
Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza, a fun card game from Aunt Rachel. She also got a bead art kit from them and a lapful of glitter thanks to the wrapping paper.
Getting to the cash Grandpa Dennis had hid in a candle.
The next day (Monday, March 29) we had the Scotts (Grandma and Grandpa, Aunt Jessica, Uncle T and his family) over for muligatawny soup and banana pudding ice cream cake.

Sour Patch kids from Aunt McKall.
A card and 21 pennies from Bennet.
Sketch books and pencils from Grandma and Grandpa.
I didn't hear her complaining that we had to stretch her birthday out over three days.
