A Great Birthday!
This was one of my most memorable birthdays ever! Upon my return from the grocery store, I was greeted by Katey and her viola serenade of “happy birthday to you” along with a hand made poster that the girls had made taped to the wall. Aunt Jaimie and Tyler joined us for pizza and cake.
I attempted to make home-made ice cream as well and after 4 1/2 hours of watching the ice cream maker spin, we decided to eat whatever we found inside… I’ll remember the vanilla extract next time!
I’ve never seen so many candles on one cake and am not sure that I look forward to seeing more… After dinner, I opened the gifts that the girls had made for me. Lauren made a hand painted pottery vase with her name on it and Katey made a pottery cross that says “Dad”. I am grateful for their hearts and will cherish these memories.
