Chippy/Snoopy/Waffles or whatever his name is the year is, left Q a birthday message.
You know that scene in Elf where Buddy stays up all night, decorating the department store for Santa? Corbin sneakily stayed up until 4am cutting out letters for a happy birthday banner in the dark, then creeping from the basement up to Reese abd Quincy’s bedroom and adding the pages one at a time. Sweetest thing ever! He was a tired wreck the next day, but it was worth it because Quincy felt the birthday love and still has the banner hanging in her room.
He also wrote cute little notes for her.
Quincy did not do a friend party, this year. We surprised her one evening with a special Harry Potter themed family birthday dinner, complete with hogwarts decor, a golden snitch, Hedwig the owl, Hagrid (me), and a speech about light and happiness from Dumbledore (also me, because there is no end to a mother’s love.) The meal was a snack assortment/charcuterie. We made butterbeer floats for dessert. Quincy’s birthday candle was one of Aunt Lisa’s Chinese candles that opens and sings Happy Birthday. Q declared that her birthday week would live on as long as the candle kept singing. Of course, this meant we celebrated for 8 crazy nights. The candle has been thrown outside and our front yard has been singing obnoxiously 24/7 for a week!
Birthdays end by crawling through the traditional birthday spanking tunnel. Grandpa is obviously new to this tradition. Hahaha!
Oh Quincy Brooklyn, we love you so much!
12 will be good to you!
