Birthday party, take one! Yay?
Tomorrow we are going to visit my mom and do a pre-celebration of Alexandra's birthday.
Pre-celebration, what you mean you might ask...
Well, my relatives are very lazy. It is apparently easier for US to do the two-hour trip to the area where THEY live (and mom) than it is for them to do the same trip to visit us. Hey. And here I thought it was the same no matter what way you went. :-/ Also, mom got a house. Gawd forbid you can have a birthday party for a baby-girl in an apartment... :-/
So we'll borrow mom's house and garden and have our selfs a little birthday party there.
It saddens me a little, because doing it this way means my relatives and peting73's relatives never get the hang out. And that, quite frankly, sucks. :-/
So, I think we'll only do it this way this year. Next year, when she turns two, they bloody well have to suck it up and take that trip or not congratulate Alexandra at all. So there.
I feel kinda torn about it. :-(
On one hand, I want Alexandra to experience the HUGE crazy family gatherings I got to experience when I grew up.
But at the same time, we live HERE. This is our HOME. Why can't they visit us, when they expect us to visit them all the time? :-/
So, yeah. It'll be fun to meet all and all that this weekend, but I do feel very torn about the whole thing. :-/
Oh well.
At least there will be cake and cookies.
