Birthday Party

One of the advantages to having a Birthday on Christmas Eve is that Olive gets to celebrate with all her aunts, uncles, and cousins. Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa Schroer's is a long standing tradition and we more than made up for missing last year with food, games, and a birthday party.

Dad started the night with the Jaynes' family tradition of reciting the birthday story. Grandma Schroer made snowman cupcakes for everyone and a big cupcake for the birthday girl. She picked the sprinkles off first, then started on the frosting before digging into the chocolate. Then she got to open her presents. She helped Mom with the wrapping paper and got very excited when she saw what was inside. She received some wonderful gifts and we are so appreciative of everyone's kindness. It was a very special evening.

We apologize for the lateness of the blog, a stomach virus has been claiming victims one by one around these parts. Christmas pictures are forthcoming.
