The day is finally here. She’s been dying for her birthday to come for several weeks. When she first woke up this morning, she had small sleepy eyes. As soon as Becky said, “Happy Birthday!”, to her she instantly got all excited. She had a very fun day. She got to open one present this morning. Then she went to preschool where she got to share with her class some Care Bear cupcakes Becky had made. While at preschool, Becky ran back home and quickly put out some balloons and decorations for Ashlee. She was excited to see them when she got back from preschool.
I came home from a work a little early and she was knocking at the window when she saw me. She came out and was hollering about how today was her birthday so when I finally got inside she shouted, “Surprise! It’s my Birthday! Happy Birthday!” She’s funny like that. Next she opened up her presents (finally). Then we went to eat at Red Robin, and she was excited once again when they came and sang to her and brought her an ice cream.
After dinner, Nick had karate so I took her and Nick to that while Becky finished off her Princess Castle cake. We got home and sang her Happy Birthday, then we had cake and ice cream.
Oh, but the celebration is not over. Her “big” party with her friends is still coming up this Saturday. It’s a princess party where there will be a princess cake, princess activities, and anyone who wants to can come wearing a princess dress (Nick and I won’t be dressing up of course). Some of the girls in her class have been talking about this party long before we ever even sent out the invitations. So it should be fun.
Happy Birthday Ashlee!
