Today my baby girl added another year to her life and another number to her age. Things are kind of crazy around here and we know we'll be celebrating with far-away family soon. So that the day was not a completely boring one for her, I gave Delia a few choices about what she wanted to make her birthday special and, bless her, she picked nice easy treats! (Remember, this is the girl who requested a trip to Target and a green circle cake for her birthday last year!)
We've been spending lots of time keeping cool in Jetta's swimming pool this summer. So, Delia asked for another trip over there to swim with her friends. She's been so brave in the water this year and has even switched from a life jacket to floaties!
Jetta was perfectly happy to lend her home, pool and family to help make Delia's birthday special. And I'm so grateful. In a week of to-do lists and deadlines, it was great for us all to take a break and have some fun.
Jetta even told me to invite one other family, so we asked Delia's good buddy, Brittany, and her family to join us. For her special birthday snack, she picked brownies, which we stuck candles in and served with ice cream.
Delia's final birthday wish was to eat a hotdog for dinner. Easy enough! I joined Fudruckers Birthday Club and she even got it for free! I love this about Delia. She's so passionate about everything, it takes almost nothing to make her really happy. She had a great day and looks forward to the celebration continuing...
