I don't like winter. For a myriad of reasons I'll spare you from, but the most important on is that my birthday is only 9 days after Christmas. This year I was especially busy with catching up with school and so I ignored the festivities going on around me. Until Christmas was a couple of days away and like Scrooge himself, I turned around and saw that I was really spoiling everyone else's spirit. So after catching up as much as I could I let myself be present for the week of New Years and a couple days after my birthday.
My boyfriend had wanted to treat me to a mini stay-cation for our birthdays, mine is Jan 4 his is Jan 6, but we ended up deciding to postpone our vacation until we had a little bit more spending money. And so I decided to pull of a surprise party for him.
It was really fun and I almost surprised him but I forgot he had my location shared on his phone. It was really fun working with his mom to make his birthday special though! I baked him a cake and cooked a full meal for his family and even set up silly cute decorations.
I didn't want to do any crazy for my own birthday. So my family got me chicken wings and my little nephew made me a play dough cake... and my boyfriend bought me a huge brand new smart T.V.
In conclusion this holiday season was unexpectantly super sweet. Here are some pictures.
Very glad that you and boyfriend both had super sweet birthdays and holiday celebrations :-)
ReplyDeleteHmm... Even if you remembered to turn off location tracking of your phone, that may have alarmed him.
Good job on catching up with your IS101-3022 coursework thus far. The finish line is in sight ^_^
I love the Play-Doh cake! That was very sweet of your nephew :) It looks like you had a fun time celebrating birthdays even with all the craziness of catching up on your school work!
