Low Key Birthday

Unfortunately for Celie, she had a very low key birthday this year. We had scheduled a party for her on Saturday, but had decided to cancel it because of my recent stint in the Triage. She really didn't know it was going to happen, so that was good. But the mommy guilt still exists.

On Friday morning after some toast, I stuck a candle in a cupcake that we had made the day before. Everyone sang her happy b-day and she successfully blew out her candle. The rest of the day she played and then after a kick trip to the grocery store after dinner, we all had round 2 of the Celie b-day cupcakes. Celie got to blow out another candle. After cake, Celie opened up her b-day presents from Bob and I and from Anna. We got her a Fancy Nancy book, a black fleece jacket and TinkerBell PJs. Anna got her TinkerBell Fairy figures. She loves them and hasn't stopped playing with them since last night. They even went to bed with her. She fell asleep with 3 in each hand.

Hopefully, next year, when she turns 5, we will be able to celebrate with a little more fanfare.
