It hit! That four-letter word.. SNOW!
At first, it wasn't too bad, but it didn't stop. Blanketing the entire town all day, it was very pretty to watch, but yet sad at the same time.
We had scheduled a birthday party for Mysia at 6:30pm, and the snow caused several to call and say they weren't going to make it. We had been asked if we were going to cancel and reschedule it. But I couldn't... Mysia had already put off opening her gifts on her birthday yesterday, and we weren't going to expect a five year-old to really understand. Would you want to postpone your birthday party that you've been patiently waiting for and looking forward to? It just wouldn't be right.
Plus, we had made a ton of cupcakes the night before! Some had to be eaten soon!
Because of the snowstorm, I was allowed (along my other coworkers) to leave early. So Lydia picked me up around 4 and we headed home. We did more cleaning and getting ready for whoever might show up. I put on some part music (sung by Dora the Explorer), and blew up some balloons. It was enough to raise the excitement level for both Mysia and Malachi!
As the snow kept falling outside, we got several confirmations from those saying they wouldn't be able to make it. Mysia was saddened with each report, but I promised that no mater what, we'll still have a party and have fun. We did get a call that Lycia was going to come. That gave Mysia some excitement.
Before 6, Lydia started baking the pizza, and we ate. Lycia made it in time and we started the party. We celebrated with strawberry cupcakes, strawberry ice cream, and strawberry kool-aid! We then had Mysia open up her gifts. She enjoyed that part the most. We then sat down and watched one of the videos we had got her.
It was a good evening, and even more... Mysia had a great party!
