All anyone could really talk about yesterday was Evan's birthday today! In fact, when we were sharing the best parts of our day around dinner, Evan's response was, "My birthday is tomorrow!"
We have really been planning this birthday. When your birthday hits in a pandemic in a family that takes birthdays very seriously, it's a big deal! Brad and I managed to basically clear our calendars for today, and both kids worked ahead on school and chores so they could basically take today off.
I think the celebration actually started last night when the two of them stayed up until 11:11 since he was turning 11! (Since they had worked ahead and didn't have school today, we let the school bedtimes go out the window.)
This morning, Evan woke up to find his gifts from Issa and us at his breakfast place.
Buddy the Elf and friends had brought fun balloons for the mantle:And we hung a pinata in his doorway!
Today will be all about this:
And I'll post the celebration pictures tomorrow!
