Birthdays have always been sort of a big deal to me (can you tell??). As a little kid, my mom would go all out and have a party for all my friends on my birthday. All the girls in my class would ride the bus home from school with me and we'd break through the crepe paper doorway to a fully decked out party room. My mom always put crepe paper all over our dining room and got the full matching party set for the table. You know, with the plates, table cloth, cups and napkins all to match. Yep, those are the ones. We played party games, ate cake and I opened presents. All my friends' parents came to get them right before dinner so I got to play with them ALL afternoon! Nothing like a 3-5pm party to get things going!
For dinner, I always got the meal of my choice. Now that's power! :) I don't remember what I usually "ordered", but I do remember one year asking for frozen fish sticks and tater tots. Classy. My mom tried to talk me out of it, but I was stuck on it. Sorry family. :(
