I have a guilty conscious as your momma! Yes, I should have posted these incredible birthday pictures sooner. One day when you realize that I am a bit over a week late, hopefully you will understand that making memories on the beach was the reason this post is late! Many apologies,
Your Very Sorry Momma
Bess' "real" birthday was celebrated as our family was together! I love birthdays. I love my babies birthday's EVEN MORE ! Bess' day began with a special birthday table and her request for a special breakfast … QT muffins! How sad is it that my child asked for gas station food for her birthday. Granted it is pretty awesome gas station food but still!
After a delicious breakfast, the next big plan on Bess' Birthday Agenda was going to Lunch with her Mommy and Daddy. She got to request the lunch location! Her pick… The Country Club! SInce it was her birthday she got to eat WHATEVER she wanted. Now, I must say that out of all the delicious things you can eat at the Club, this wouldn't have been my pick but what a birthday girl wants, a birthday girl gets!!! Bess was in the mood for a peanut butter and jelly, fruit and slaw! Plus a coke on the side!!!
We had plans to eat with my grandmother but a little change of scheduled shook that plan up a bit! However, after a delicious chicken casserole, the birthday girl had requested Doughnuts!
Again, what a birthday girl wants, a birthday girl gets!
All was going well with our Doughnut Birthday Dessert until Ben, the insistent candle blower outer appeared! Quick as a wink, the little rascal was up beside Bess. Before I could grab the little squirt, he had committed the Big Bad Birthday Sin! Yep, he blew out Birthday Girl's candles without being asked. AND THIS WAS NOT GOOD!
Thankfully, candles relight! This time, while RahRah was holding Ben, Bess got the proper rights that her little birthday self deserved! And all was right with the world!
That evening as a family of 6 we celebrated our birthday girl! Out of all the treats this little birthday gal got, her most favorite was her pink monkey she named June (after her birthday month!) Her birthday request had been a stuffed animal. Her daddy made the priceless discovery of the pink monkey that velcros to your body. Having one just like it as a child, this gift was a little bit of her request and a bit of his sentimental spirit of his childhood days!
The child was literally on cloud nine over her pink monkey June! And today, if you try going to sleep without it, you better think twice! Not happening! June and Bunny Foo Foo are must for night time sleeps!
As Wednesday, June 4th came to a close, we had one happy 5 year old! Anxious about her Birthday Luau, Bess went to bed with a smile on her face!
I , on the other hand, went to bed with 5 years of irreplaceable memories flooding my brain!
I kept thinking back to the supper evening surprise of October 2010! With a boy scout knocking on the door, attempting to sell popcorn while I was in the bathroom yelling for Bubba to get in her RIGHT NOW! Never in a million years did we expect to be staring at a positive sign while also staring at twins that were 7 months old! Still ranks as one of the BEST surprise blessings I have been given in my life!
Bessie Boo, You are beyond a blessing. You are a gift. We love you so much and love each day with you! Your smile is like no other. Your eyes can melt you daddy and your little innocent request make me want to say yes to just about anything you ask! You are loved by so many in this world! Never forget that sweet baby! I hope your 5th birthday was every bit as perfect as you imagined!
Lots & Lots, Momma
