Betsy's Birthday

February 2 we celebrated Betsy's birthday (which is actually February 3). Cassie and I wrapped her gift (napkins for every season and holiday) and the three of us were the first to arrive. Betsy and Cassie drew several pictures together while waiting for Mom and Scott.

Once everyone was in attendance, we arranged the table with Betsy's cake, plates and napkins, then Betsy opened her gifts. In addition to our gift, she also received She Wore a Yellow Ribbon on dvd and a Perry Como TV show on dvd. We sang Happy Birthday, Betsy blew out her candles, and we ate lemon cake (Mom did the cake this year) and mint chip ice cream ("green ice cream" as Cassie calls it).

We only stayed a couple of hours for I was exhausted - still recovering from pneumonia. Cassie and I had spent the day running errands, doing laundry, and picking up around the house. Once we got home, it was straight to bed for Cassie and me.
