My daddy found personalized construction hats, ducks that had hard hats, and straw cups that looked like construction cones. They found caution tape and miniature dump trucks. Aunt Jessilyn flew in for the grand event. Her and my mom made the dirt cake and filled the miniature dump trucks and a big one for the adults.
Best of all, the Platko’s loaned the bouncy house to us so me and my friends could spend the afternoon bouncing around.
The shift started at 3 and the first one on the site was Emily. Josh couldn’t make it as he got sick the morning of. But there were plenty of other kids to play with including Rebecca and Andrew, James, Ellen and Owen, and Jocelyn. When we weren’t bouncing around, we were playing in the water table, or on the slides. With pretzels and dip as the appetizers, dinner started around 5. Soon thereafter, birthday cake followed for everyone. I wasn’t quite sure what to think of everyone singing to me or the flame in front of me. With a little assistance, the candle was blown out and I dove right in for the pudding…best birthday cake ever!
With everyone gathered on the lawn I proceeded to open my presents in two year old fashion…nice and slow so everyone knew what I got. I had some assistance with that too as the three and five year olds didn’t think I was opening them quick enough. Before I knew it all the presents were opened and I was left with too much to play with including art supplies and easels, piggy bank, scooter, basketball hoop, water table, trucks, workbench, story book reader, food cutting set, broom, puzzles, T-ball set and a jack in the box. I feel so fortunate to be surrounded by family and friends that love me on such a special day. Happy birthday to me!
