March 7 has been a special day in our house since 1996 – it is my oldest daughter’s birthday. After 18 years of celebrating together, it will be so strange that we are not together this year. It was also strange to make her card early enough to mail 🙂
Anyway, we are missing Jen this year, and I chose “Hot Diggity Dog” for her card because the little scottie reminds us of our dog Chip. If you mention Jen’s name around Chip, he runs to the laundry room to see if she is going to appear! We have learned not to do this until she is close to home, in order to spare him the anxiety.
I was reminiscing about birthdays, and I pulled some throwback birthday pictures to share. These are from 2002, and the girls loved The Wizard of Oz – that Emerald City playset Jen received was a favorite. The cake fit the theme, too – did anyone else own a half dozen or so of those shaped cake pans? The castle and the dog were our favorites.
Thanks for stopping! Have a great weekend!
