Happy Birthday Mommy.
Owen and Brandon were just as excited for me for my birthday. They helped to open my cards and enjoyed my birthday cakes – yes plural – with me. The Saturday before my birthday, we had a bbq’d chicken dinner with corn on the cob, potatoes and caesar salad. The weather was outstanding – hot and sunny – so we were able to enjoy dinner on the deck. When it came time for cake, Owen and Brandon waited patiently while everyone else sang Happy Birthday and then dug in….into…my carrot cake. Yes it you know me, you know I am a pretty picky eater, but maybe as I age I am acquiring my sense of adventure with food. My wonderful hubby found a de-lish carrot cake!
On my actual birthday, again the weather worked out wonderfully and we ate hot dogs and had Dairy Queen ice cream cake for dessert. As you can see, Owen patiently waited for cake time.
Owen and Brandon then sat with me, while everyone sang Happy Birthday (they chose to giggle and watch everyone sing).
Oh, and not to forget the kindness of our neighbours, the girls spent all day slaving over the oven to bake me some tropical cupcakes, delivered to my door. We are so lucky to have such wonderful neighbours!
It was another wonderful birthday spent with what’s most important to me….my family.
