Last year, Simon's first birthday was not quite what we envisioned. I had planned an adorable Peanuts birthday party for him (since his little round head made him look like Charlie Brown), but after I sent out the invitations, I had to cancel because our state went into lockdown due to Covid-19. We decided to do our best to give Simon a wonderful second birthday party. I happily handed the cake-making reins over to Eric, who professed that making a cake wasn't that hard. We found an adorable Cookie Monster cake idea on Pinterest that looked reasonably easy to execute. He quickly discovered that cake making is a giant time suck, and though it turned out absolutely adorable, we are a purchased-cake family from now on...
We had an Easter egg hunt, which all of the kids loved. Simon was obsessed with the little trucks he found in his eggs. All three of my kids were overjoyed to get to spend time with their cousin, Everett, whom they have not seen very much in the last year. They had so much fun playing in the backyard. Livi was a great big sister/cousin and helped Everett find toys to play with. Simon loved the Happy Birthday song and blowing out the candle so much that we had to do it a couple of times. And boy, did that boy LOVE his chocolate cake. It was such a fun day, made even sweeter by all of his family members coming to spend the day with us. Happy Birthday, Simon!
