Birthday Season Has Begun...


Molly -

I'm sorry I haven't written anything in awhile. July has been an extremely crazy month -- between LOTS of playdates with friends, a trip to see Papa and Grandma, planning for vacation, getting ready for Kindergarten, signing up for ballet and soccer, preparing for the big birthday party... the list goes on and on. But it's all good -- and all fun.



The other day, as I was working through the logistics of Five-A-Palooza (your big birthday party with your friends) and your birthday trip to Disney, you informed me that it was "my birthday season." Not a weekend... not a week... not even a birthday month. Nope. You, my friend, jumped right to season.

And it seems that people are buying into this. (And by "people," I mean your grandmas and grandpas and aunts and uncles...)


The birthday seaon began a week or so ago when you received a package from Aunt Lois and Uncle Jim. It really had to be the sweetest thing EVER. Inside the box were several presents, as well as instructions:

- The three big presents you can open now. (They were all BEAUTIFUL dresses.)

- The two little presents are to open on the plane to Disney World.

- Three big presents plus two little presents = 5 presents for Molly's big 5th birthday!
We called Aunt Lois and Uncle Jim while you opened the box (which was a Mickey Mouse box, by the way...) and you talked and talked and talked. And you modeled all the dresses for me so I could document the whole experience WHILE we talked to them on the phone.
The same day, you also got a package from Grandma. So we had to call her and model the new jeans skirt she sent while talking on the phone.

What a great way to kick-off your birthday season!
Stay tuned for Birthday Season Part 2 - Party in Springfield!
