I had grand plans for the weekend of Miss L's birthday. On Saturday, we were going to the mall to see one of her friends from church play some Christmas music in the with her dad. Then that evening we would head to the train park and let her ride the train through the light display. Sunday, we would go to church and have a light lunch with family. Then after naps we would do Miss L's favorite meal of chicken nuggets, mac & cheese, and broccoli salad (she like the dried cranberries). The evening of celebration would be concluded with cake and presents.
Yeah. None of that happened. And the few things that did happen were not how we originally thought they would go. HA!
Obviously, I had a baby that weekend instead.
Plan B.
Unfortunately, no one made it to church. The whole family had a light lunch and cake. More than ever I was glad that we ordered a cake rather than me trying to make one. Miss L was delighted with Angelina Ballerina. Thankfully, Miss L cannot read right now or she would have noticed that her name was misspelled on the side of the cake. Two L's instead of one. Oh well. It still was yummy! Then after all the excitement the girls took naps.
After naps everyone came down to the hospital. This is when the Miss L and Miss A got their first glimpse of Miss S. Then we headed down to my hospital room to really party it up and open Miss L's presents. It was a fun time. The nurses got a kick out of my little caravan. Miss L told them about her sister and that it was her birthday. It was pretty cute. Miss L thought my bed was pretty fun and quickly discovered that the back of my bed produced presents. Once we were done opening them she kept looking back there to see if more had magically appeared.
After all was said an done it was getting close to dinner time. Honestly is was hard to see everyone leave that evening. My oldest was turning three and my youngest had just entered the world. It was a little surreal. I think my heart was just ready for us all to be together under one roof.
I think it's a birthday party that I will definitely remember.
