Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one!

February marks the beginning of the first birthday season for us with one in February, the second in March, and the third in April.  The next season beings in August followed by three in September. It's a very busy time of the year for us and planning is in full effect. 

This year the first party belongs to Joelie. She is turning 2! I can't begin to tell you how excited I get planning her birthday party. It's so different than it was planning the boys, imagine that! Her theme this year is Hello Kitty. Yes, we do themes! :) Cake is ordered, presents are hiding, and decorations are ready to go! I can't wait for it! She is going to love all the Hello Kitty stuff! Oh, did I mention her birthday outfit is the most adorable thing EVER?!? I bought her a dress, necklace, and earrings PLUS I made her a tutu and ordered a birthday shirt with matching bloomers for her! I can't wait to share her birthday pictures! 


The next shindig belongs to Pacey. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around him being a year older already. It has happened so fast. I always think that I can't wait until he is out of this whiny stage, but the truth is... I really can.
He hasn't decided where he wants to have his party or what "theme" he wants to go with. I'm sure we will end up having the party away from home, which is fine with me, less for me to have to clean up!

Venus gets the final birthday this go round. He won't want a party but money instead, which he will no doubt spend on computer and/or video games. Did I mention he is going to be a teenager? 


Every year it comes as a shock to me that it's time to celebrate birthdays. I wish I could just hold my breath and make time stand still even if just for a minute longer. It's an amazing ride watching our kids grow up and playing such a big roll in who they are, I just wish it didn't happen in a flash.
