Happy Birthday in Any Language


Yesterday we went to Mike's parents' home to celebrate his grandmother's and my birthdays. She turned 94 and (I'm not telling mine). The boys looked forward to the party for 2 days - won't make the mistake of telling them plans quite that far in advance again.

They were very excited to look at the birthday cake, the number of candles was hilarious to them (not to Katie and myself).

What I found interesting was that they've been given gifts over the past week, which they don't seem to know what to do with until we show them that there is something inside and it's for them. Gift bags are a total unknown. But when Katie started opening her gifts, Eli especially, sat there and watched each and every one and was excited that she'd gotten something.

We really need to get our video camera fixed because when it came time to sing Happy Birthday they were the first and loudest of the group.
