Keith's first request this morning was for a gift he knew might be coming his way. A cd. He wanted to have it to listen to on his way to work. So, before he even got out of bed, I ran out and "wrapped" his cd and a Titans t-shirt that I got for him in a paper Target grocery bag and used newspaper I found on the counter in lieu of tissue paper. Then, I scooped Etta up out of her crib and we went back to our bed to give Keith his gift. Etta liked helping her Daddy pull all of the newspaper out of the bag to get to the gift. We lounged in bed for a few more minutes and then it was time to get on with our day. We had breakfast and then Keith went on to work.
Soon after he got home this evening, we gave him his cards and the rest of his gifts (all in one proper gift bag with proper tissue paper). Mostly he got shirts and a pair of shorts. His big gift this year was the stereo we bought on Sunday.
After Etta went to bed, we had dinner and then I sang "happy birthday" to him with a candle in a Klondike Bar (his request). We had to sing the song twice because Mr. Impatient blew out the candle before the song was even over. Didn't even bother making a wish. *sigh*
So, he got a do-over.
Happy Birthday, hon. Hope it was a great day!
