Our theme for the 2020 school year was Forrest Gump. Why?! Because 2020 school year was like a box of chocolates – You never knew what you were gonna get! So at the start of the year we watched the movie virtually with friends. Saoirse made adorable little gift baskets for her firiends for back to school to lift their spirits. We also made pizza and celebrated my dad’s birthday at this time. When the kids did finally have their first day of school I made a cake in the theme of Forrest Gump. So here ya go – everything more Gump then you knew you needed!
