You are a fantastic mom. I know it feels like we are failing when we don't reach the expectations we have for ourselves. I know because I've been "failing" big time with the birthdays this fall. But as I had to remind myself, not one person looks unhappy except me. Our youngest was thrilled that his sister made a purple cake for him, and she was happy to do it. It was only me that was disappointed, because I didn't make it. <br />Happy Birthday to Henry!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039084287472642442.post-1925596228405823402014-09-25T09:16:27.166-07:002014-09-25T09:16:27.166-07:00Serious tear-jerker, right here!
