Being that we don't see doughnuts in this house outside of someone's birthday, it's a Buh-ig deal to the girls.
This year, Raegan's birthday fell in the middle of my mom's Spring Break (she works for a college). So we went to her house for a mid-morning "breakfast" of chocolate-covered doughnuts.
And really? What's better than a day at Grandma's house, singing Happy Brithday, AND chocolate?!
Nothing!
See that look in her eyes? It's the content and satisfied, my-life-is-in-perfect-order-now look. The one that says "Oh. You still here, Mom? Huh, I didn't notice."That night we did it all over again.
Yes, those are two doughnuts with candles stuck in them. What can I say, I'm an over-achiever when it comes to my daughter's birthdays.We didn't even do presents this go round. Shhh! Don't tell. Seriously, she has no clue. In her little mind, she had an a-ma-zing birthday.
Especially when we went to a friend's house for dinner the next evening. My job was to bring the dessert... being the exceptionally wise mother, I brought Birthday Cake.
More singing and blowing out of candles?! Does it get any better than this?!!
In the eyes of a two year old? I think not.Though next year, I'm thinking Lazy Mom has to get her booty in gear. A 2 year-old may not realize she was totally jipped, but a 3-year old will.
Especially since this summer is Selah's 5th birthday. The birthday year where we go "all out". Raegan will totallly expect something next birthday...after seeing Selah's Grand Hoop-la.
Thankfully, both sets of grandparents left phone messages for her...she got them after our dinner party at a friend's house.
Grandma & Granddaddy, Grandmama & Grandpa...This is how excited she was to listen! :)
We still have those messages on our answering machine. She listens to them non-stop.
