Yesterday was hubby's birthday and we had a busy day. Here's a recap, especially for hubby's brother in So. Cal, who knew more about hubby's birthday than he did due to reading this blog!
The baptismal was lovely followed by a yummy luncheon. Everyone including the priest wished hubby a happy birthday. The kidlets hated to leave. Where else could they find approximately 30 other kids to play with at one time? I was amazed the family could not only pull something like this together right after Christmas with a week year old baby (and nine other children ages 16 years to 15 months), but invite and feed over 50 people in a spotless house. Only in my dreams could I manage something like that!
Our charming waitress serenaded hubby with a song Elvis Presley wrote when he was stationed in Germany. She sang the lyrics in both German and English, not only feeding him a bite of apple struedel but dabbing a spot of whipped cream on his nose.
After the Grotto we drove through Peacock Lane, a street with charming gabled houses decorated with lights, figures, you name it. And then it was home for cake!
Hope everyone has fun celebrating tonight! I still have pages to write so that's what I'll be doing later. Though I will take a break for a glass of bubbly and a kiss when the clock strikes midnight!
