Christmas is set aside. The front door wreath is covered with a birthday sign. Streamers hang from the bedroom door. The birthday hat, chair and banner is put out.
[I bought this banner on Eddie's first birthday. Just a few years ago I noticed why this birthday message is extra special. Do you see it?] |
From dawn until way past sundown we celebrated on this gray, drizzly Friday.
- Treats for the school kids.
- He had lunch with Grammy and Grandpa.
- Opened presents.
- We went to the 3D opening of "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" and invited a couple of neighbor friends.
- Eddie had a yummy cake idea and it turned out great!
Can you tell which child was being the most difficult at this moment? |
