Dillon and I always joke that when my birthday rolls around in September that we celebrate the whole month. We eat out more, because, hey, I have a birthday this month. I always buy extra clothes that month with the excuse that I turn another year older. It's a month long "celebration."
In Luke's case, this really has been a month long celebration that he was born! His pappaw Eddie sent a HUGE box of gifts towards the beginning of the month that Luke ripped into. Then there was Easter (which isn't really anything to do with his birthday, but he got gifts). Then the Monday before his birthday my mom and dad gave him his gift, then it was his birthday and we ate at Waffle House and he got balloons. Then yesterday, Dillon's mom, step-dad, sister and brother-in-law all traveled to Asheville to have a small celebratory party. And, then of course, the culmination of "birthday month" will be our trip to Dollywood on Tuesday that was postponed from last week due to bad weather. Can I just say, whew. It's been a hectic month.
Yesterday was a fun day as we grilled out and had cake and ice cream. I know I had told Luke no birthday party, BUT, how sad is it to not get cake and people to sing to you on your birthday. It was a small group of family, but we had a great time catching up. Dillon's sister and brother-in-law traveled 8 hours yesterday just to come and see Luke and celebrate. We are so thankful for all of them to come down and hang out. It was such a good time. Dillon made kabobs and we hung out on our back porch. Dillon and I ended up cleaning the house all yesterday morning because a pediatrician's appointment for Charlie turned into a whole morning thing on Thursday with a shopping trip to Wal-Mart and awhile at the doctor's office. It was lunchtime before I was done!
Tuesday is our big trip to Dollywood! We're all pretty excited about it, especially Luke. I don't know what we'll do when we don't have any more birthday celebrations! It looks like the weather is going to cooperate so we'll head out early Tuesday morning. Wish us luck tackling the amusement park with a 4 year old and a baby! Woohoo!
