I called Matt at work to share the latest cute-kid story, and bless-his-heart, he stopped by the grocery store on his way home from work and bought supplies for my Reptile Princess party. Asher was thrilled. On the morning of my birthday, they worked hard putting together my card and cake. Asher didn’t forget the animal costumes and insisted we make masks for the occasion. I had some ZooPals plates, so just made those into masks for us while Daddy worked on the cake.
Inside my card was the following dictated message from Asher. It’s so sweet to see what sort of things matter to a 4-year-old:
Dear Mommy,
I like to play animal and dinosaur toys with you. And I like to do exercise with you, and I like to get muddy with you. I like to color with you. Mommy, I want to do something great for your birthday! Mommy, I really want to get birthday presents on our heads! (As a little game, we frequently balance objects on our heads and then pretend sneeze them off. I’ve been doing this with Asher since he was 2 and he still finds it hilarious.) Mommy, I think you’re really, really pretty! Happy Birthday!
In addition to my Reptile Princess party, I was able to have my girly-tea-party as well. I had Matt take me to lunch at a local tea parlor and had fun trying on all of their “grandma” hats. You can check out some of pictures from our lunch below.
It was a wonderful day, and I praise God for 34 years of a wonderful life!
This is one of the funniest stories I’ve heard in a long time. I’m so glad you got it all in writing. And way to go Matt for running with it! What a great memory that will be someday.
Love it! Asher is going to be quite the party planner (like his Mom) and Matt can be the caterer! 🙂
Did Matt decorate the cake? I’m impressed. 🙂 I haven’t gotten you a gift yet, but now I know what theme to go with!
Happy Birthday! I love the reptile Princess Party theme. Isn’t it so sweet that Asher wanted to celebrate you so much? He is lovely! And who knew that Matt has such good cake decorating skills? Good job Matt! Looks like you really enjoyed your birthday.
