Happy Birthday to ME!Happy Birthday to ME!
Happy Birthday, dear Hero,
Happy Birthday to ME!
Hero brought her family over to the house for dinner and to celebrate her birthday. She was so excited to finally be having a birthday. It had been a whole year! I know that is not news to most of us but when you are turning two, that is like, half of your life. When her dad asked her what she wanted for her birthday, her answer was, "Presents!" "What kind of presents?" "Cake!"
So we had presents and cake.
First came playing in the backyard. Not on the lawn or on the porch but in the dirt making "food". Then came dinner with spaghetti - her favorite. And then dessert, which is her mother's favorite (and one of my top choices), the Tres Leches cake. Yum!
Finally it was time for PRESENTS! I have been waiting all day for this part! So she and Ariel sat together in the leather chair so that Ariel could help her as required (which is a lot when it is not your birthday.)
She got tons of stuff and loved everything she opened and had to touch it and check it out. And the best part was that it was all clothes and books. You have to do it before they learn that there are supposed to be toys in there somewhere.
One of her favorite presents was a pair of new shoes. She is definitely all girl, this one is. Even a pair of tennis shoes gets her excited. So excited, in fact, that she had to put them on right now. So we got to all see her model the new shoes and then go around and check out everybody's shoes. She may have even gotten them on the right feet.Finally it was time for them to say good night and head home. What a fun day.
