Danielle's birthday was on the 8th and I'm just now posting it. But I didn't forget on the actual day and that's most important! This year Aunt Dani turned 25 and my kids wanted to make sure she knew it. So they made posters to put up all over the house. They colored pictures and made posters with the # 25 written all over them. My favorite was a poster Ellie drew that had Danielle sitting in a tornado and she drew extra wind around that to show how strong it was. Not really a traditional "birthday" theme, but it came from the heart. And Ayden wrote her a letter to tell her how much he and Tate loved her (apparently, Ellie didn't make the cut).
We made her favorite dinner and her favorite birthday cake (homemade Devil's food cake with rainbow chip frosting) and we celebrated. Of course, a dinner at our house wouldn't be complete without whining and complaining about the food (they won't eat anything). So in the middle of arguing with Ayden and Ellie, I said "Gee, what a happy birthday dinner for Aunt Dani." To which Ellie said "oh, yeah. Happy Birthday Aunt Dani!" That made us all laugh and put us back on track for a better night.
So Danielle, hopefully you had a great 25th birthday. Know we love you and appreciate all you do for our family.
