For the second year in a row we had a fun, adults only, breakfast out with some close friends. The rest of the day will be about Marcy's Birthday Wishes, as we're calling them around the house.
Aside from the typical World Peace and Ending World Hunger, here's what we're efforting to accomplish today to help make Marcy's Birthday awesome....
No Fighting between the kids - some days this would feel as insurmountable as the World Peace or Ending World Hunger wishes, but so far so good! Of course, two of the kids are still in bed...
Making Sugar Cookies - Already done! The younger boys had fun making sugar cookies with Mom after we got home from breakfast, although Kyron did try to convince Marcy that some Hobbits and Wizards would be good additions to the batch. She didn't fall for it.
Breakfast with Friends - As mentioned before, we started our day off with this highlight.
Christmas Eve service - we're planning on going to the 3pm service at Northview. If you don't have plans already, we'll see you there!
Family Movie Night - We've already got our tickets for Saving Mr. Banks later tonight. I haven't heard much about this movie, but since both Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson are pretty picky with what they choose to do, I imagine this will be somewhere between pretty good and wow! in our rating system.
The Laundry Fairy would show up today and fold all the laundry - guess where I'm going as soon as I click publish for this post?
Seriously though, we're all so lucky to have an amazing woman and mom like Marcy in our lives. I know we don't show her enough how much we love her and probably make her feel unappreciated at times, but the truth is that this woman makes our family work. We'd be lost without her, every one of us. Our kids will be better adults someday because they have Marcy as a Mom and I'm a better father and all around person because she's been my wife for over 18 years.
Happy Birthday Marcy! May all these wishes and many more come true!
