I didn't want Livie to feel the sting of the fact that her daddy was going to miss her birthday this year. He felt awful, but is doing his best to get his work done in San Antonio and come home. Anyway, so I was open to pretty much anything she suggested. She said she wanted to sleep over at grandma and grandpa's house. Simple enough. Sounded like a good suggestion to me. As we talked about it, I realized that she meant sleep in tents at grandma and grandpa's. I haphazardly invited other family memebers to do the same because they would be there for the celebration, not really thinking anyone would take me up on the offer. Craziest thing...EVERYONE took me up on the offer. Every single one of my siblings and thier families (except Aly, 'cuz she's in Arizona) came and set up tents and spent the night in my parents back yard!
We roasted hot dogs on thier fire pit and watched movies on an enormous screen hung on the back of thier house. The theme of the party was Strawberry Shortcake, and I was cracking up seeing my whole entire family sit through Strawberry Shortcake: Happily Ever After. The were really good sports!
What a night! I have to say the whole thing turned out to be a ton of fun, minus one very important daddy.
