Perfection

Today has been mind staggeringly perfect! 

We went to a restaurant that seemed custom made for me.  There wasn't anything in it that I didn't adore, right down to the "toilettes."  I had a crepe with spinach and feta cheese, cafe au lait and then the surprise!  They brought out a crepe filled with fresh bananas, strawberries and covered in whipped creme, then drizzled with chocolate that spelled "Happy Birthday" along the rim of the plate!  We feasted!

Next we went to the most amazing toy store I have ever been in.  My one year old grandson picked out his birthday present and we bought a few little things for his big two year old sister.

At home we opened one of his presents and watched him bubble over with enthusiasm before he and his mommy went shopping.  While they were gone my granddaughter and I did one puzzle after another.  She was amazing! 

For dinner there was salmon chowder, crab cakes, corn with red peppers and rice followed by custom desserts for all!  Cupcakes with tons of chocolate icing for the birthday boy and his sister, carrot cake for me and his mommy, and key lime pie for his daddy!

Happy birthday was sung to each of us separately, accompanied by the daddy playing piano and by the time I was ready to blow out my candle I had tears in my eyes.

I have never had a sweeter birthday in my entire life!
