Family tradition says that the birthday girl gets to have lunch at the restaurant of her choosing on her special day.
But with a snowstorm on the way today, she opted for lunch out yesterday instead.
'Cause she's practical like that.
And she went to her regular joint, Mellow Mushroom.
She likes it and she knows we all like it.
And she's thoughtful like that.
And despite being one of seven at the table, she ate more than anyone else.
'Cause she's just plain ol' determined like that.
And when the nice waitress brought her a cookie sundae, she ate that too. But was happy to share bites with the hungry onlookers.
And tonight, when her brother is home from school, and her daddy is home from work, she'll open the presents she's been waiting all day to open.
'Cause she loves her family like that.
And boy do we love her!
And boy do we love her!
Awwww so sweet! Happy Birthday Caroline! Just to recap: your mom likes Starbucks and you like Mellow Mushroom?!!! We are going to be such great friends! :) Maybe we can all go into business together and open up a combo Bucks & Shroom. StarMellow? Bucks & Mush? Ok, clearly the title needs work....but I think we're on to something! Enjoy your special day!
