bristel's birthday picture marathon (finally!)

So this was Bristel the night before her party...
down for the count with the hurlie bug!




I crossed my fingers...and frosted the cake...


decked the table...




...and even wrapped the gifts anyway! In left over Christmas paper!



And this was Bristel the next morning! Out with the hurlies...on with the party!





Trevy may have had the most fun out of everybody! He LOVED playing toss n' chase with the tissue paper




Poor Tobes...he didn't bounce back quite as quickly as the b-day girl.







We're party minimalists. Birthdays are spent with family only. But the b-day-ee gets to choose the cake...the theme...and the food!
Bristel wanted pizza...chocolate cake...soda...and a My Little Pony theme
She had SO much fun that she's still talking about her My Little Pony Party!


I love this pic! My gang of sicksters were totally wiped out afterwards!

and spent the rest of the day camped out on the couch...
Just like this!

D, don't feel bad, we are the same way in our house! Family only and my oldest will be 7 this year. With the new baby coming, no friends this year either! The girls do get a cake from the grocery store bakery though...mom's not much of a baker!! lol And yes, they do get to choose their own themes too.

Glad to hear that Bristel had fun. Of course she bounced back fast, all girls will when there is a birthday party on the line!! lol

Hope everyone is fully recovered from the sickies now!

Awwww...that's a wonderful bday story!
We're bday minimalists too...I don't know about there but's way over board here. People spend waaaaaay too much money on the whole shabang (uh, I've seen one yr olds party that are licensed (alcohol) rented hall, full catered meal and the works...for a 1yr old! We have friends for the 1st bday but the rest we havent' & I make the cake and then we have a special family date. It's lovely to have it just family.
The pic of your camped out sickies is sweet. Makes you want to bring them all a hot chocolate, special movie & snuggle in.
Hope everyone is tip top shape now.

All that matters is whether or not they have fun, which despite the sickies, she looked like she did ;) Javi is really the only one that we make a big production because he is a "birthday" person, plans it out months in advance. The rest of us are just happy to have cake and pizza with the fam.

I cried when I got the news

I felt like such a heel not going with Trevy for his first post hemi EEG. Yeeeeeees...Jonathan went with him. Yeeeeeees...he's just as good as me. But still! He's my baby! I was instead sitting on floor 6 east waiting for Neurology to get their boots here and help me sort out this medicine mess! Seriously it's like a bad joke...how many Neurologists does it take to write a bloody script? And fax prior authorizations? Cause Trevy's been back for hours now. And I'm STILL waiting! Anyway... Jonathan had just stepped out to meet the pizza delivery guy when Dr. EEG made his rounds. Of course I asked immediately if he had read the EEG. Of course he had. That's why he was there afterall. And I cried when he told me... that for the first time in almost two years. For the first time since this whole crazy mess began. my baby's EEG is completely normal! Side Note: It's super fun to sob in front of Japanese men and watch them squirm When I kept repeati...

I sure hope...

they grow back curly! Saw the "unknown" flashing on the face of my cell phone and knew who it was. Who it had to be. Dr. Fellow. My eyes met Grams' and I nodded. Grams has a pool, see. For super hot days like today. We're also having a septic installed. Which meant no water or facilities at my place. But those weren't really the reasons I was there. Close to mom. The purple ringing thing in my hand was. Only I wasn't prepared for it to be ringing SO darn soon. Shortly after lunch instead of dinner! I swallowed. Took a deep breath. And clicked connect. Dr. Fellow has a very nice phone tone. Clear. Hint of compassion. If only a stitch of humor were added...it'd be heavenly. But there was no humor. Just business. He's very direct. I'm learning that about him. Which explains his short hello. Followed by immediately pushing into the news. Being that it was a unanimous consensus. The entire surgical committee feels Trevor is a good candidate. And then p...

it's like being asked to the prom...

only MUCH MUCH bigger! I had noticed (yes...I stalk my site meter!) that a government ISP had logged onto Trevor's blog. Whoever it was had spent a good deal of time hanging out too. Followed a few minutes later by a government ISP...hailing from Washington. As in DC! My eyebrow raised. It was just kinda odd. Note-able odd. You know? Anyway...later that day (last week) I was folding laundry & thinking my crazy insane thoughts. Along these lines... I hope I'm not saying anything I shouldn't! Maybe I made somebody mad? Wait a minute! I live in America! I'm allowed to say anything I want! Aren't I???? A shout from the other room interrupted my thoughts before I had a chance to further mull. It was Jonathan. I had just received an email. **Side note...he's always doing that! Reading my emails! Sheesh!*** The said email was from a US Senator's aide! Asking if he could speak with me. Little ole' hardly has time to splash some make-up on ...
