Grandmom’s birthday is coming up soon, but unfortunately, we will be on vacation (without Grandmom 🙁 ) when it actually happens. So, we decided we needed to celebrate with a special dinner before we leave. Since my cousin, John, happened to be here from Texas, we thought the weekend he was here was perfect. The more the merrier, I say. I was actually happy to have more than just the usual “us”. Everything seems a little more low key since Joe died, and I think having more people around made it seem more party-like. Mark also invited his dad, so we had a good group assembled.
First order of business was the cake! I was going to just buy one, but then decided that Sam would love it if we made one instead. And I do like to bake….Sam loves helping in the kitchen. She was super excited that this was her very first time cracking eggs without getting a bit of shell in the mix!
It was after dinner when we made it, and she was really disappointed that we couldn’t decorate it immediately. I told her there was no way because it had to bake and then cool. I did let her stay up long enough to see how it came out before shuffling her off to bed. The next morning, very, very early, Sam wanted to start decorating. I did frost it myself, but I let her do whatever she wanted to make it look nice.
I will say, I am very proud of her and Grandmom was thrilled. Her flowers are beautiful. She worked so hard to make the cake look nice for her Grandmom.
We ate dinner outside (Mark barbecued a ton of food) and then it was time for presents! Sam got my mom the silliest card with a bunch of birds wearing party hats and eating gummy worms. Totally a Sam card. Totally.
It couldn’t be cake time soon enough for Sam. Even though she only eats the frosting, she still loves cake time.
Happy Birthday, Grandmom (or G-mom, as Sam likes to call you these days). I hope you know how important you are to our family. How we just couldn’t do it without you. We love you so much.
