The celebrating continued today. Aaron picked up a cake from Pat's Bakery on Saturday and we saved it for tonight. I say it's for the kids, but I really do just love the thrill of blowing out birthday candles, even if they're poked into a donut or something.
Since Eunice had her birthday yesterday, we invited her to come have dinner and celebrate with us. The kids showered her with cards bedazzled with sequins and washi tape. Eunice and my mom are the same age, so they talked about some trends the past during dinner, then Eunice caught us up on how some of her other adopted grandkids we knew that have moved away are doing now. Aaron came home from church meetings an hour earlier than expected, and it was a lovely evening.
Maybe this is silly, but I usually have a birthday wish ready to go when it's time to blow out the candles. This year, well what more could I wish for?! Wouldn't it be selfish to ask for better than what I've got going on right now? I have so much to he grateful for....especially all those tiny hands that left tiny finger marks in the sides of cake. And really, can you land them? That buttercream frosting was so smooth and tempting it just begged to be poked/sampled. I think I'll just be sad if there's a day my birthday cake is free of fingerprints.
Thanks for being a birthday buddy, Eunice!
