Celebration

For Lucy's birthday, she got a beautiful bouquet of flowers from her daddy, and took a trip into the city to spend a few hours at Grandma Bourne's. They had a tea party and played Littlest Pet Shop and then were home in time for Birthday Dinner. Max was pretty disappointed to not be allowed to go as well, so I convinced him to stay and be my special helper. He helped me make chocolate mousse for Lucy's dessert...her favorite...although he plugged his ears during the mixing part. We made rice krispie squares and chili and baked potatoes for dinner. Max helped by wrapping the potatoes in foil and poking them with a fork so they wouldn't explode. (his words)
We ate up at Grandma Janielee's and opened presents. Lucy was so excited for the chocolate mousse and savored every bite. We opened presents: a dress from mom and dad; a pink bear from Max; a shirt and barrettes from Jason and Ali; and some princesses from Grandma and Papa. The highlight of the night, was using all the tissue paper from the presents to make superhero capes for the kids to race around the house with. They were pretty much a blur and kept up with the game for at least 25 minutes. We also got to see little Miss Sarah too.
