- I can't wait to see grandma's face

When I show her all the birthday decorations I made.

And I'm going to need all the help I can get,

Okay, max?

Huh?

[Engine sputtering] - rabbit racer.

- Whoa.

[Laughs]

I don't think rabbit racer can help,

But I know you can.

Whoa.

[Sighs] little brothers.

- Ruby!

- Happy birthday, grandma.

We have a special delivery for you.

- "We"?

- Uh-huh.

There's me, and there's--

- Rabbit racer.

- [Laughs] oh, hello, rabbit racer.

I hope you brought max with you.

Oh, good.

Hi, max. Hi.

Come on in.

Now, what's all this about a special delivery?

- It's in this box,

But you're not allowed to see

Until it's all perfectly perfect.

- Oh. Oh. Oh.

Do you need me to close my eyes?

- Actually, um,

We need a few minutes to get ready, so...

- You know, I was just about to organize my hat closet.

Why don't I go upstairs and do that

While you get ready, okay?

- [Sighs] thanks, grandma.

- [Chuckles]

- Rabbit racer.

- Okay, max, it's time to stop flying your rabbit racer

And start helping me put up the decorations.

[Tires screeching]

The secret to great decorating

Is finding the perfect way to display the decorations.

Of course, it helps if you start off

With beautiful decorations.

Look at this paper garland I made.

See? They all look like grandma.

Now, where should we hang it?

Hmm.

We could put it there over the window.

No, that's too high.

Or there on the fireplace?

No, too christmassy.

I suppose I could put it on the piano.

What do you think, max?

- Rabbit racer.

[Engine sputtering]

- Oh, my garland.

[Gasps] it's perfect.

Phew! That was lucky.

- [Sighs]

- But we don't want to take any more chances, okay?

Why don't you land the rabbit racer

While I get the next decoration?

- Are you ready for me yet, ruby?

- Not yet, but soon.

- Well, that's my rain hats done.

Now for my summer hats.

- Ready?

Ta-da!

A beautiful bouquet of forever and ever flowers.

I call them forever and ever flowers

Because they're made out of tissue paper,

So they never need water,

And they'll last forever and ever.

[Chuckles]

Now, we have to find the perfect place to display them.

What do you think, max?

- Rabbit racer.

- I thought you were going to help me decorate.

[Engine sputtering] huh?

Whoa!

[Sighs]

Maybe you should take your plane outside

Until I'm finished decorating.

[Shouts]

[Gasps] oh, no!

Phew. It's not broken.

This is grandma's favorite vase, and--

[Gasps]

Grandma's favorite vase.

What could be more perfect

For displaying the forever and ever flowers?

That was another very close call.

No more rabbit racer tricks, okay?

- Are you ready for me yet down there?

- Almost, grandma.

Just a bit longer.

- Okeydoke.

[Blows]

Aha.

I was wondering where that hat went.

- This is the last decoration to put up

And the most special.

It's a banner.

Look familiar?

We have to decide where to hang it.

Hmm.

It's too big to hang anywhere.

[Sighs]

Well, I guess I'll just have to put it here.

It would look much better if we could hang it.

Oh, well.

At least the garland and the forever and ever flowers

Look perfectly perfect.

Okay, grandma. We're ready.

- Oh, goodie. Here I come.

- Wait.

I'll come up to meet you.

- Rabbit racer.

- I don't want you to look

Till you get all the way downstairs.

- [Laughs] all right, ruby.

My, my, this is exciting.

I've never had a birthday special delivery before.

- I need you to face this way.

And okay, you can look now.

- [Gasps]

Look at that wonderful garland.

Those are cutouts of me.

I love it.

And oh, my.

What a beautiful bouquet of handmade flowers

In my favorite vase.

They look perfect.

- And I made one other decoration.

- There's more?

- Yes.

It's right over here on the--

Huh?

[Engine sputtering]

- [Gasps]

Look at that beautiful banner with all three of us on it.

What wonderful decorations.

And they're perfectly displayed.

- I know, grandma.

But I have to admit I had a little help

From max and--

- Rabbit racer.

- Now that grandma's house is decorated for her birthday,

We have to make her a birthday present.

And I've thought of the perfect thing.

Do you want to know what it is, max?

[Toy whirring]

[Laughs]

I don't think your lobster

Would make a good birthday present

For grandma.

But look at this.

We're going to make prints of our hands

In plaster of paris.

See?

We put our hand in the wet plaster for a second,

Then take it out,

And when the plaster dries,

We've got a perfect copy of our hand.

Look.

Everybunny's handprint is different,

So making a print of our hand

Will be a unique gift for grandma.

Unique means there's nothing else like it

In the whole world.

[Toy whirring]

- Lobster.

- All right, max.

You play with your lobster while I mix up the plaster.

Okay.

First, I have to mix some plaster of paris powder

With just the right amount of water

And stir until the plaster is thick but not creamy.

Then I pour it into the mold.

Oh, grandma's going to love the heart shape.

There we go.

[Gasps]

I have to remember to put a hole in the top

For the ribbon to go through.

That way, grandma can hang it on her wall.

Now I'm ready to make my handprint.

Nice and straight.

One, two--

- Lobster!

- [Gasps]

Oh, no.

Oh, the book says plaster of paris dries really fast,

So I have to wash it off before it hardens.

If I hurry, maybe I can smooth that handprint over

And try again.

Oh, too late.

It's hardened already.

Hmm.

It's just a little crooked.

That makes it even more unique.

That was a lucky break, max.

I thought your lobster made me ruin my handprint,

But look.

Grandma's going to love it.

Now it's your turn.

I'll just get the plaster of paris ready for you.

[Toy whirring]

- [Gasps] lobster.

- As soon as this plaster is ready,

I need you to stop playing

With the lobster, okay, max?

- Lobster!

Hmm.

- I'm ready for you, max.

You need to put your lobster down

So you can make a perfect handprint.

Oh, no.

- Lobster.

- [Sighs]

Well, I guess anybunny can make a mistake.

We'd better get you cleaned up.

There you go. All clean.

Now let's see if the plaster has hardened.

Uh-huh. That's what I thought.

[Sighs]

I'll just have to mix up another batch of plaster.

- Lobster?

- No more lobster till we've got your handprint done, okay?

Okay. Let's try again.

- [Gasps]

- [Humming]

Huh?

[Gasps]

Uh-oh.

We'd better wash you off.

You don't want a stiff ear.

There.

All clean...again.

I have enough plaster for one more print.

- Lobster?

- I think you should just stay away from your lobster

Until we're done making your handprint.

- [Sighs]

- [Humming]

- Lobster!

- Whoops. Whoa.

Max, be careful.

- [Gasps]

- No!

[Gasps]

[Chuckles]

Come on, max. [Chuckles]

If I'm quick, I might still have time

To smooth it over and make--

- Hello!

Is anyone home?

- Grandma, um, come see what we made for your birthday.

- Ruby, that's your hand.

I'd recognize it anywhere.

What a lovely gift.

- Thanks, grandma.

I tried to get a print of max's hand too,

But his lobster kept getting in the way, so--

- [Gasps]

Oh, look, there's your foot, max,

And your ear.

And is this your tail?

Oh, this is a wonderful gift.

It's so-- it's so--

- Unique.

- [Blows]

There. Just like new.

How are you doing with the lanterns, louise?

- [Straining] I'm almost done.

[Grunts]

Phew! There.

- They look great.

- Thanks, ruby.

What's that?

- It's the dance trophy grandma won a long time ago.

- So she really was a champion dancer?

- Uh-huh. Look at this.

That's her.

- Wow, she looks so...

Both: beautiful.

- When I found this trophy

And the picture in grandma's attic,

I decided a surprise birthday dance party

Would be perfect.

- How did you get grandma out of the house?

- Mr. Piazza invited her to tea.

So while she's out,

All the guests will hide back here.

Then, when mr. Piazza brings her into the backyard,

We'll all shout, "surprise!"

And then we'll ask her to--

- Dance!

- Max, this dirty old shoe box

Is going to mess up our table.

What's in here, anyway?

Those aren't the kind of shoes

Grandma would dance in.

[Gasps]

But that gives me a great idea.

Let's bring out her prettiest pair of dancing shoes

So she can dance at the party.

Come on, louise.

[Both laugh]

- Dance.

Both: ooh.

- Which ones do you think are the prettiest?

How about...

Both: these ones?

- [Gasps]

[Both laugh]

Both: beautiful.

- Dance.

- Look, max,

These are much nicer dancing shoes.

- Much.

[Elegant classical waltz]

- There.

- May I have this dance?

- I'd be delighted.

♪ ♪

- Dance.

[Chuckles]

- I can't wait to see grandma dancing

To this beautiful--

Both: huh?

[Upbeat jazz music]

- Dance.

- Max, we need beautiful music,

And that was not beautiful music.

- Not at all.

- [Sighs]

- It's starting to get dark.

Time to turn the lanterns on.

[Both gasp]

Both: wow.

- Oh, ruby, they look so...

Both: beautiful.

- Soon, our guests will be here,

And then grandma will arrive,

And she'll be back in the spotlight.

- Except we don't have a spotlight.

- [Sighs] little brothers.

- [Chuckles]

- The guests should be arriving soon.

Could you please open the back gate?

- Sure, ruby.

- Max.

[Blows]

[Coughs]

Aha.

- We saw your grandma and mr. Piazza

Getting off the bus.

- How will we know when they're coming back here, ruby?

- We've got a secret signal.

When mr. Piazza says, "come out and look at the stars,"

Everybunny get ready to yell, "surprise."

- Ooh. - Okay.

- Uh-huh. - It's so exciting.

- Quick, find a place to hide.

[Both chuckle]

Hide, max. Hide.

- [Chuckles]

[Gasps]

Dance.

- Well, that was a lovely finish to a perfect birthday.

- It's not over yet.

Come outside and look at all these stars.

- [Chuckles]

- What's all this?

All: surprise!

- Oh, my!

A surprise party for me?

[Laughs] all: happy birthday.

- Yay, grandma. - We got you.

- Yay, grandma. - We got you.

- Did you organize this surprise birthday party, ruby?

- Yes, grandma.

But it isn't just a birthday party.

Look.

- What's this?

My old trophy.

[Elegant classical waltz]

- We want you to dance the way you did

When you won this trophy.

We even brought out your prettiest dancing shoes.

- I'd love to, ruby dear,

But those aren't quite the right--

- Dance.

- Oh, there they are.

Thank you, max.

- Those are your dancing shoes?

- You betcha. They're my tap shoes.

That trophy was for tap dancing.

- You mean like in this picture?

- [Gasps]

- Now all I need--

[Upbeat jazz music]

- Dance.

- Thanks, max.

That's just the kind of music I was hoping for.

[Rhythmic tapping]

♪ ♪

- Go, grandma. - Uh-huh.

- Thanks for the surprise party, ruby.

- [Laughs]

Happy birthday, grandma.

- Take it, max.

- Bravo.

- Yeah, way to go, max.

- Nice moves. - All right, max.

- Well, ruby, you did it.

You got grandma dancing in the spotlight again.

- I know. She's so, so--

- Beautiful.
