I would have really liked to have baked her a cake. And to have picked out the just right candles to light on top. To have laughed late into the evening remembering stories of growing up. Just a casual hanging out kind of celebrating. I would have even brought balloons. Why do adults never get balloons anymore?
Instead, I fell in love with this fabric [Hoot, by Moda] and I whipped her up a set of work-week lunch napkins embroidered with the appropriate days-of-the-week. And I sent it off via post.
I wish I could swing by after work. With a cake. And our kids could play together in the backyard. And we could drink tall glasses of Iced Tea. Just hanging out. And celebrating.
Happy Birthday, Sister!

Awww - thanks! I wish you guys did live closer so that we could hang out more.
And, how did you know that I'm loving Hoot right now?! Must be that crazy sister connection thing.
Speaking of, I can still do our secret talking language... can you?
I forgot all about that -- I still can! I should see if Belle can figure it out! :)
