Tonight we went over to my sister, Shelby’s house for a birthday party for Eva and Kylie. First time in a while when the whole family was together in one place. Tara and Erik were up from Kentucky and Tim was there. The theme was running cheetah, which is something that Kylie likes. She is a big fan of cheetahs. Shelby had made a cute little cake in the shape of a cheetah face and some orange cupcakes. That way they could still blow out candles.
Earlier in the day we went to my parent’s former house where I had to get some bins out of the attic. In all I had 16 giant plastic bins full of Transformers. I had put them up there in 2007 or 2008 with the help of Erik. He did not think that he’s have to be there to help take them back down. So now there are 6 of them back home with me and 10 of them in the garage so that I can take a couple home at a time (large bins, foot locker sized). The next thing to do is to figure out what is in each and see f I can sell them and keep the ones that I really want.
It does not seem possible that time has passed so much that I now have a teenager living in this house. Weren’t you just born? Weren’t we watching Mary Poppins for the 50th time just the other day? Princess dresses and tea parties. Going to your first Free Comic Book Day? These things just happened, so how is it that you are already growing into a young woman with big thoughts and ideas. How is it even possible?
Possible or not Eva is now a teen. She had a fantastic birthday with our traditional birthday breakfast. That was after her Facetime call with Auntie Tara and Uncle Erik and opening the gifts that Auntie Tara got her including some sweet new shoes. Converse All-Stars, of course. Then we went to NorthWorks and she got a huge meal. While she ordered pancakes they brought her French Toast and she gave it a try. She discovered that she liked it a lot. Then I brought her to dance and we had a nice conversation along the ride. She had a special Zoom session to discuss the play Six in the after noon. Then the birthday parade followed by dinner from her favorite Chinese Food place. We were joined by Mem and Grandfather, Auntie Shelby and Kylie plus Miss Colleen. Allison made a special Eiffel Tower cake and the decorations were Paris themed. We watched the second half of Enola Holmes on Netflix and then watched a reunion show for the cast of Six. So much happening in this one day.
