Today is Alan's birthday!!! We started the day with a trip to Pine Street for a wellness appointment. Then I dropped him off with Pop Pop and Emma so that Bootie and I could get more shopping done for tomorrow's Shrek party. Shrek is big in this house as demonstrated by the pinata mounted in the living room. It will be given as a prize for tomorrows scavenger hunt. Also scheduled is a puppet show....We have lots of green balloons and green streamers to hang up in the morning....I still have to mix up the swamp pudding (of my own creation) I decided to go with a mexican theme for food. I made a big pot of chili, vegetarian tamale pie and tomorrow I will put together a huge taco salad. For the kids, I'll bake store-bought chicken and cheese taquitos.
Tonight we had a small family party and Alan enjoyed hearing us sing happy birthday...and the MUCH anticipated birthday cake! Then, I asked my family to meet me in the living room for a "team meeting" to review what needs to happen to make tomorrow a sucess. You know, I missed Christmas from being so sick, and I really am looking forward to having this be a grand celebration! No doubt photos will be posted!!! Now, time for rest! Tomorrow will be a busy day!
