Happy Half Birthday Dear Sophie…

Happy Half Birthday to Yoooooooooooooooooou.

The half birthday thing has hit. Hard. Sophie’s been talking about it for weeks.

And planning her birthday party for months. Oddly she’s not as interested in Christmas and Hanukkah — even though her birthday’s not til May. (She did inform me several times this weekend that I am on the Naughty List.)

I think the lure of a day all to herself is too great.

So what they heck — I figured I’d work my way off the Naughty List by doing up the half birthday in style. I found a gift I’d purchased for Sophie’s birthday and misplaced. Done. And I couldn’t resist stopping for cupcakes on the way home.

Unfortunately, they did not have any purple cupcakes at the bakery, but Sophie was very gracious. Maybe she’s growing up.
