Today was an especially exciting
day, we looked forward to celebrating GiGi’s birthday with a family breakfast!
Daddy got the two of you decked
out in your Sunday go to breakfastJ
outfits while Mommy got dressed. Mommy then took both of you with her to the
ATM machine to get our money for our contribution to the breakfast. Daddy
finished getting himself ready, and Mommy and the two of you came back by the
house to pick up Daddy. Mommy pulled into the drive and the car started rolling
backwards, and you, Jude, screamed not to leave DaddyJ.
All of us then went by Grandma’s
to pick her up, and when she tried to situate herself in the back seat between
the two of you, you commented Bodhi that she was “too big and too heavyJ.” Grandma managed to
squeeze into the back seat and off we went to meet GiGi and GiPa at the IHOP (a
favorite breakfast house of both Mommy and Daddy, though as a family we seldom
eat out for breakfast).
As we exited the car, both of you
immediately recognized GiGi and GiPa gazing out of a restaurant window from our
reserved table, and we hurried in whereupon each of you insisted on sitting on
either side of GiGi for the breakfast celebration. Poor GiGi, sitting next to
either of while while eating is a special treat, let alone both of youJ. GiGI spent as much
time assisting and cleaning each of you as she did enjoying her celebration
breakfastJ.
Nothing stopped the rest of us from enjoying our breakfast of pancakes and
crepes and eggs and hash browns and other goodies like chocolate milk and hot
chocolate and hot coffee (not for babies)!
We love to spend family time
together, and GiGi (and GiPa and Grandma) adores the two of you beyond words.
It was a wonderful breakfast, compliments mostly of Grandma (we paid the tip
and GiPa brought along a 20 percent coupon). The two of you had spent a great
deal of time with Mommy the night before making GiGi a special greeting card,
and she absolutely loved her special presents and the time we had together over
breakfast. As we all prepared to leave, GiGi and GiPa explained they were going
to go to the movie this afternoon and see the film Lincoln (on Mommy and
Daddy’s recommendation!). GiGi would enjoy a fun birthday celebration, though her
actual birthday isn’t until the 9th.
After our breakfast celebration,
we intended to drive Grandma home and then return home for our day, but of
course the two of you insisted that you stay with Grandma and she of course
agreed to the dealJ.
So the two of you enjoyed an afternoon, impromptu, with Grandma and Mommy went
on to go assist her friend Dianna strip wallpaper and Daddy returned home to
work.
After coming home from Grandma’s
and enjoying our afternoon naps, we spent time together (especially Mommy and
the two of you---as Daddy continued to work) throughout the evening, enjoying a
delicious dinner prepared by Mommy, then a television viewing of Shrek 2 and Rio and then off to “night, night.” For GiGi and
two beautiful little angels it was a very special, beautiful, fun-filled day!
