Yesterday was a lot of fun for the birthday girl. I don’t think that a smile ever left her face. We started the day with gifts. Her absolute favourite was her Om Nom stuffy. She has “fed” it candy all day today and it slept with her last night.
As you can see, she also still wore her birthday hat all day. After nap some of Elspeth’s China family joined us for a small party in honour of her birthday. It is always great to see the kids together and get caught up. Sometimes when you watch them together you can see similarities in temperment. The kids painted, hunted for “birthday treasure” (really just plastic Easter eggs), chased balloons and had an inpromptu musical concert with some of Elspeth’s new insturments.
I think that is met all of Elspeth’s expectations because she woke up today asking if it was her birthday again. One goof up though was the cake. I made a point of checking that her name was spellt correctly when I picked it up at the bakery. Thrilled it was right. I did not however pay attention to the rest because I figured that it was pretty straight forward. It wasn’t until we opened the box to put in the candles that Glenn noticed the spelling mistake. Sigh, good thing that she can’t read yet.
