So my baby bug's birthday has come and gone. So fast i know! It was am amazing day too, so many family and friends from all around so.Cali made their way down to celebrate, and so many family from other states sent their love and birthday wishes too! My boss and their family even came down for the entire party to celebrate!
It was nice, i had so many family and friends that helped me pull this event off, from picking up the sandwiches, cakes, and chicken to helping me pack everything up in less than 15 minutes!
I didn't know i would be so exhausted from a b day where i didn't think there was much done at the b day but i WAS. i was completely pooped by the time we got home, my baby and i just sat in the pool. then people kept coming to visit and hang and celebrate.
The funniest part of my day was the email i got toward the end of the day. My father and i haven't has the best of relationships but he is starting to see i am not the lazy kid he once thought i was. Every day he trys to show me that more and more. He wrote me this hella long email about how proud he was of me and how super impressed he was watching me execute a well plan event with details included and not forgotten. well if he had paid attention to what i was doing in life before he would know I'm that kind of chick! LOL He has never acknowledge any of planning of stuff i did in college, or with any of my jobs. SO the morning of my baby's big day he really thought i was gonna forget a detail like bring trash bags for gift paper, or a knife to cut the sandwiches. so he packed his truck up for all the things he thought i was gonna forget and he was planning to play super dad to the rescue....but all that changed by 2pm on Saturday.
He showed up early to watch my bug as we set up, not knowing i had a crew for that and i know this b/c my email just ranted and raved about how impressed he was in my attention to random detail and the fact that he thought he paid attention to detail but then saw i paid even more attention to the event as a whole and not just parts and pieces of the event as he had done made his jaw drop. Yes I'm quoting the email hahahaha
i personally think he was a little shocked too at how the little things i did came together and looked but i didn't over do to much and kept it simple...ie my baby boys cake was absolutely beautiful. before hand my dad kept saying he was gonna up do it..ha ha ha ha ha NOT in the slightest tho i was worried at one point b/c i paid for the better cake (but Kippy QUICKLY eased my racing mind) and the cake there on its stand made my dad whisper in my ear that's amazing ;o) soo i know he then got a whole new perspective of my "judgment and opinion" at that very moment...all based on a cake...yes i know weird way BUT hey it happened and that's all that mattered
And yes i am glad he was so amazed, and proud but at the same time that's me and has been me, so the recognition was GREAT but that's not what i cared about.
Seeing my little guy run around in his birthday outfits carefully selected by his God mother and I, as he played at the park with his cousins, seeing him look up at me SMILING as everyone sang happy birthday, and watching him push his 1st power wheel vehicle up a hill instead of riding it...that all right there was amazing. Not to mention how pleased i was to see everything come together and then to see him tuckered out in the car on the way home...it was a GREAT day.
Special to thanks to all those who came, enjoyed (and even those who didn't enjoy themselves), to those who helped me in some way...this was a great day. A true celebration to show that all those that will follow will be blessed with family friends and love.
WE ARE ONE!!!
and FYI it still feels as new as it did the day the put him in my arms ;o)
