Tonight for Autumn's birthday when we got home we Skyped with all the grandparents and the cousins that live near grandparents and weren't in bed yet and had the great grandparents on the phone! So cool that we can live 3300 miles away and Autumn's family can still see her, sing happy birthday, watch her get excited about her gifts - and that she can see them too! After singing and present time, the grandparents were able to watch her play with her new toys. It isn't the same as in person, but it is a good replacement when the other isn't a possibility!
Autumn's birthday was jam packed - @ daycare she shared birthday muffins (she requested muffins), after work we skyped with family for muffin cake and presents, then we had dinner and play time with our friends that live in our building! Autumn was so very excited about all her gifts - happy family toys, clothes, poodles, cookware, puzzles and bath stickers! She had gotten so excited about a snow globe that cousin had found while she was here - so I found her one. She opened it before our dinner guests arrived and handed back to me and said, "Momma, you can have it." Well folks, you win some and you lose some. At least she isn't old enough to be mad that we didn't give her something she wanted. Over all it was a great day! Tomorrow we look forward to a little beach party with some friends and opening the rest of the gifts she received in the mail. She received a lot of facebook love, a special video from her aunt and cousin in Maryland and sweet texts and messages. She is truly one loved and blessed girl!
