This year, I suggested a little birthday party and she said she wasn't really interested in having a party. I wasn't really surprised. She doesn't like to be the center of attention and doesn't like a big deal made about her. Problem is, I like to make a big deal about her, because she IS A BIG DEAL!
We are pretty close though, we usually understand each other and I think I know her well enough to celebrate her 17th birthday while still honoring her request for no party. So, I brought the party to her!
One person party delivery . . . In the form of her BFF and all around awesome person and cousin, the amazing Annabelle.
The kids and I had fun decorating our rental property with birthday festivities while John went to the airport. I asked Brooke to come meet me to bring me something I "needed" and when she got there we surprised her. She was totally surprised! AGAIN!
We got some dinner and caught up a little before they left to have a girl's night birthday party at their own vacation condo. I hope our girl feels as celebrated and loved as she is.
