It remains to be seen, but it's possible that Amity could end up with the last true pandemic birthday™ among us. More likely, however, it'll be Wes with the lucky and special opportunity for a two-fer. However, since his birthday is in April, the outdoor opportunities should present at least something semi-social, and likely musical.
But back to Amity, the birthday kid of the hour! She organized her own birthday zoom where she and a bunch of friends played Kahoot and Telestrations and some other party games. She brought homemade cookies so her winter soccer team could celebrate 6+ feet away from each other (after a commanding win, like all the other games this season), and today she brought ice cream sandwiches (in winter?!) to celebrate at school since the pandemic has brought a no homemade and must be individually pre-packaged caveat to birthday treats. It was a delayed start d/t snow on Sunday, so we had the opportunity for full family breakfast before school. We capped off our celebration with Brazos Tacos and the customary chocolate cake (topped with spray cream and berries, per birthday kid specs).
Happiest of birthdays to our gregarious, empathetic, snuggly, sassy, curious, animal-loving, musical, hilarious, kind, and joyful kiddo. Love you bunches!
