We celebrated New Years Eve like people much older than we truly are. We sat around and watched the "Chik Fil A" Bowl, and we ate & ate. We had a splash of sparkling grape juice and then off to bed! We were blessed to celebrate with some of our dearest friends and P even tried to stay up to "watch the ball fall." He didn't make it. I woke him up, but he doesn't remember it today!
More importantly New Years is the most special holiday to us, it is P's birthday. His 5th to be exact. I always struggle when his birthday comes around. Not sure if it is b/c he is my 1st boy, or because his birthday marks the beginning of all kinds of new experiences, but it is bittersweet. This year is no different. Where did the last 5 years go???? And while I wish he was always that tiny baby boy, too small for a newborn diaper, I love to see the kind boy he has become.
AND January 1 2012 is something special. Emigration paperwork will begin to move again in S. Korea. We are FINALLY getting there.
I am grateful for days like today to help pass the time. Boy, P is really an amazing boy, and I feel so proud to call him mine. Now some gratuitous Superhero party pictures for your entertainment.
(this is P's 1st "kid" party, & I think it was a hit!)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY My Man! Can't wait for your brother to arrive; TWO grandsons to love!
