this year
this year is the year! the year i make brenner's birthday cake, no matter what! every year something comes up and i beg vickie at local grounds to make one. as yummy as they are, there's a part of me that feels like i've cheated brenner of the childhood experience i had from watching my mom bake and decorate all of mine. my all-time favorite - strawberry shortcake. She even made a dress to match.
this year's birthday theme is camping. I'm so excited to get started on some fun crafty ideas i've gathered online. mom and dad will be bringing a 6x6 ft bright yellow airplane that we plan to hang from the ceiling in brenner's new bedroom in the house. I'm so excited to see the look on his little face when he sees it for the first time.
here's a draft of brenner's birthday invitation that russ put together:
last night jen came over to baby me while i followed doctor's orders to stay off my foot i injured while rinsing off the back patio last sunday. adam made us yummy garden burgers and bravely participated in a deep conversation with two emotional girls drinking wine.
You better make the cake! Mel, I am disappointed, I didn't know you hadn't been doing that all of these years :) I had a great time coming out this night as well :)
ReplyDeleteOh thanks Jen. I feel so much better now...NOT.
