Happy Birthday Mommy

The kids and I cleared out Saturday afternoon to give Paul the remainder of the weekend to work ’round the clock undisturbed. On Sunday, my parents got a praline birthday cake (it read: Holly – 29 again) and we had a little impromptu party. Will gave me a solo rendition of “Happy Birthday Mommy.” It was excellent. The best birthday present ever! (Unfortunately, it now exists only in memory. Paul had the video camera at home, doh!)
Will also counted my candles. After counting to 20, he paused and said “4”! What a guy.

My birthday was also remembered by friends and family — fun PJs from Gwen, soaps and earrings from Steph, funky fun necklace from Amy and family, and a great package from Paul’s Mom that Will opened enthusiastically with his Christmas presents before any of us realized what it was! Thank you, everyone!
