My apologies for this post being a bit late ... time continues to feel very wonky as life in a global pandemic continues. The March birthday boys (aka Eric, Conor, and Bestefar) have now celebrated two consecutive birthdays under quarantine circumstances - you lucky guys, you. Unlike last year, this year we got to see Eric's parents to celebrate the March birthdays thanks to Eric's parents being fully vaccinated and Eric/me being partially vaccinated.
On the 27th, Eric's parents came over for b-day celebrates that included playing dice, enjoying homemade fish tacos, dining on sundaes (ok, everyone else had a banana split, I had a sundae), and relishing in the fact we were actually in the same place for the first time in a LONG time.

Bestefar needed lots of help figuring out
what THIS present could possibly be - ha ha! |

Conor turned 11 on the 28th and said he definitely felt different as soon as he woke up in the morning. His day was pretty ideal: he played video games with his friends (remote, of course), had MOD pizza for dinner, and got presents. What more could a kiddo possibly want??? (Except an end to the whole pandemic thing so he could have an in-person party with his buddies!)
On the 29th, the festivities continued with Eric's birthday. It wasn't on a weekend, so real life creeped in a bit, but we did our best to make the day relaxing and fun for the birthday boy. We had to come up with a plan B for dinner because we forgot that plan A (aka Red Mill) wasn't open on Mondays. So, Eric's bday dinner shifted from burgers to fried chicken from Ezells. Not a bad plan B, if you ask us!
I'd like to point out that I managed to keep all of Eric's presents a secret this year. No, I'm not a bad secret keeper - he's just good at noticing receipts I may accidentally leave out or opening Amazon boxes that he isn't supposed to open. The most impressive part of my secret keeping, one of his gifts required me to measure his foot and he STILL was surprised by the gift. BOOM!
