A Little Boy's Birthday Party

      This might be a short entery but I just wanted to share something that has happened this week and that I got to be apart of even though everything was crazy afterwards. I got to be apart of one of my little boy's birthday party and it is the little boy that I gave the snow boots to. I usually would come in to a party in the middle of it or at the end of one but this time I got to set up for it and everything. It was neat to see the smile (aka big grin) on his face when he saw his cupcake but more when he opened his presents. Everything was spiderman. The tablecloth, the napkins, and well the plates were blue to match everything and his favorite color was blue. 

        His sister got to come down and celbrate with him and got to play with him for a little bit so he really enjoyed that. It was so cute because he kept telling everyone he saw it's my birthday, we're going to have a birthday party for my birthday. There are no words to explain the look on his face when he opened each of his 3 presents either. I mean they were a spiderman "doll", a little airplane that shoots bullets, and a little track that another little spiderman could ride on. It just gave me this feeling in my heart that if 3 presents can make a little boy that happy then why can't it with us.

        Here is the lesson before you go shopping at Black Friday tommrow evening on a day we are suppose to my thankful for what we do have already. Crazy to think what it would be like if we did just get three presents at Christmas or birthday, would we be happy? It was more about the expression on his face when he got those presents that got to my heart so there are really no words for those. Just being a part of it and seeing the little boy really happy was a present to me. The parties and day goes by fast. We are used to making ours longer but why. All these children get is, maybe if they are lucky, half a hour of a party because the other children what to go off and play somewhere else. 

         Then the other children don't understand what day it is most of the time so they don't really care like a family would care and keep it going for at least that day. I have been part of a baby's birthday once and again they had no idea but it was fun seeing them get messy with the icing from the cupcake. 

That's another thing all they get is a cupcake with however many candles on it and here we are having a big birthday cake and some people those really fancy birthday cakes for a baby's 1st or 2nd birthday. I'm not againist those at all I would love to do one for my children someday but it is just a different point of view. These children could look back and remember oh I had this birthday back there because  so and so like they can look at it as a good or bad thing when they get older. 

           I'm just thankful that I got to spend one of my children's birthday with them. We have people who make a little photo book for them of their party so they can remember it but still who is to say that that book goes everywhere with them. It might get lost in all the moving but you never know.
