For those of you who know me, I really don't do centre of attention well. It's a joke really - awkward, uncomfortable, just not my thing. I have never really enjoyed the aspect of a birthday party for this reason, alone. I am super uncomfortable with birthday cake singing, which might have come from having an over the top on birthdays kind of mom who made the day an EVENT, nonetheless, I celebrate as quietly as my family will let me every year. Big thanks to Jason, Dad, Ryan, Kelly, Kai, Vayda for allwoing me to celebrate my birthday my way. I appreciate it, and know that it is probably not a lot of fun, but I really love you all so much for respecting me and my quirks.
All that being said - what an awesome Birthday! We had BBQ, some laughs, a little cousin cuteness - OK who am I kidding a whole heck of a lot of cousin cuteness with matching dresses and 7 year old boys loving their baby cousins so much - hard not to let it tug on your heart strings!! It was a wonderful day, made even better with my little girl. She really, really put a new unspeakable kind of spin on my special day this year. She did not fill the blindingly obvious empty seat at the table, but man can she steal a spotlight and create her own throne in my world!!! I love you Pacey-rae!
