Mom and Dad’s gift to Stephen this year was to help him pay for the amp of his dreams. Don’t you love how no-nonsense birthdays become once you start to grow up? Then there were technical mishaps with both of the gifts that Hannah and I were supposed to give to Stephen for his birthday. So we called it a “Hanukkah birthday” because the presents will be spread out over the week and just gave him our cards last night instead.
Hannah selected a card that had Barbie on the front, complete with rainbows and sparkles and flowery text: Because You’re Special
The inside read: Wishing you a happy, magical, dream-filled birthday. Happy b-day, Princess. Love ya!
Mine was, of course, a bit mushier.
