Happy Birthday???
We did it! We celebrated my 14 year old’s 15th birthday tonight, one full month earlier than her real birthday!
The 14 year old put the word out “NO PRESENTS”, but she got them anyway, and now her friends are here at the house for a “birthday sleepover”.Â
Her Mom ordered pizza for them for the birthday party, and then we’re both taking them all to a hockey game tomorrow…the real reason why the birthday is being celebrated this early…so the 14 year old can share the excitement of an NHL game with two of her BFF’s.
It’s a very good thing that my 14 year old had the foresight two months ago to schedule her birthday one full month early, because her hockey team is in last place and will end their season this weekend without even coming close to making the playoffs. Maybe she sensed something back then. Or maybe she just wanted to have an early birthday party!
Regardless of her reasons, I guess I should be happy that her favorite sport isn’t football. Then we’d have to celebrate her May 11th birthday before Christmas just so she could party with her BFF’s watching her favorite team play her favorite sport!
