Because we had some cake leftover from our birthday celebration for Bill yesterday, we had some for dessert today after lunch. Patty, Casey, and Sophia joined us. They were small pieces, but they were tasty. But, before we could sing, Happy Birthday, and eat our cake and ice cream, we had to put on party hats. I have no idea why party hats are so special, but they are. To Adelyn.
Personally, I think it doesn't really count as a birthday cake unless there are candles to blow out. If the candles are missing...it doesn't really feel like a birthday. For Addy, the same is true for party hats. If there are no party hats, I see the slight slump of disappointment in her shoulders, and on her face. And she tells us that we need to go buy party hats at the store. Thankfully, for today's dessert after lunch, we had party hats. I love Adelyn's face when I bring them out. Her face is the same face an adult would have if you just told them they had won a million dollars. That much excitement. For a party hat.
Thankful for Adelyn. Thankful for party hats. Thankful for the joy they bring her, and in turn, the joy they bring me watching her wear one.
