A Birthday Party For Blossom


These kids of ours constantly crack me up with their antics. One day last week after "rest time" (which is sort of becoming a joke, but momma still needs a break :-)), Ally got up and announced that today was Blossoms birthday---she was turning three and she wants chocolate cake, ice cream and a tea party. So we all joined in the celebration and had a party for blossom bunny. After the pretend party she asked when Blossom was going to get REAL cake and ice cream? And this is where my education as a teacher comes in handy. I made a big deal of honoring blossom and singing Happy Birthday to her and giving her hugs and kisses and then we played a game....etc. Ally was still dissatisfied. I was getting a little bothered at this point and just moved on. Next thing I know Daddy comes home from HEB with REAL chocolate cake and ice cream. Ally was so excited I thought she might burst!! I know she'll remember this for a long, long time. Way to go Daddy!! One of the 1,000 reasons I adore ya.
Happy Birthday Blossom...I wonder who's birthday it'll be this week?

Can it be mine? Love it - the best part with Mark bringing home the "real" party.

What a special memory for Ally! By the way, tell her Creighton's {REAL} birthday is coming up and he requested that she be on his list! We'll have cake and ice cream too!

I am cracking up both because that is funny and because Stacey III has been claiming it is William's (his build a bear monkey) birthday A LOT lately. I think he's like 13 now, but we haven't had any celebrations quite as elaborate as Blossoms she in one lucky bear ;).
