We started birthday week with a fun, Sunday morning family and friends' breakfast. I'm always so thankful when everyone takes the time to celebrate another year. Special thanks to those that make the extra effort and travel.. The Dillons from Watertown and Jamie, Christina and Ava from Webster. We really appreciate you being w/ us. I am also extremely thankful for Jess's Mommy skills. Bailee was an absolute joy!! As she was opening gifts, Bailee would locate each "giver" in the room and thank them as well as genuinely loving each and every gift. She took the time to look at each one and hopefully make those that shopped, happy they chose just the right present. The appreciation on Bailee's part wasn't a fluke. Her Mom has taught her manners, appreciation for what she has and patience.... All virtues that don't always come naturally....Kudos Jess.. you're an amazing Mom.
We had a wonderful, warm morning and were able to leave the garage door open. Kids had fun riding the golf cart, 4-wheeler and playing in the yard. We had a quick breakfast followed by colorful cupcakes and birthday cake made by Jess. They looked, and tasted, awesome.
Jeff is on his way home right now. He'll be staying with a friend in Maryland tonight and "home" tomorrow. Wednesday, Bailee's real birthday will be celebrated with her friends at "Stool" (school) while Uncle Jeff and I take her gifts to her house and have them all set up for her arrival. We'll celebrate again with Bailee's favorites for dinner, steak, cottage cheese, yellow beans and rolls....and just maybe an ice cream cake......Good chance there'll be more pix during the week!!!
