Belated Birthday BBQ and Movie Get-Together
Lucy: “I don’t want to have a birthday!”
Mom: “Why?”
Lucy: “I’m afraid it might be at night and I’ll be tired!”
— A conversation with Lucy once we pushed the clock back an hour and it started getting dark a lot earlier
We got together with some friends last night to celebrate a couple of recent birthdays. The kids had lots of fun, running around and playing (it paid dividends later when Lucy went to bed without too much fuss.)
In many ways, the night was an extension of the previous day’s Thanksgiving get-togethers, full of food and loved ones. The BBQ was fired up, there was plenty of good conversation, and I extended my holiday break see-food diet for a bit.
A special treat: our friends had a projector they were able to hook up to a laptop and voila!—the kids were watching The Year Without a Santa Claus projected on the big screen/wall. Lucy’s snack of choice during the show: a plain hamburger bun. Yep, she’s a breadatarian, that kid.
It was pretty neat.
