So as mentioned in the previous post, it was Mom's birthday yesterday.
Max Brenner's was quite fantastical - drinking milkshakes from Alice cups with 'drink me' inscribed upon them, sipping hot chocolate from hug mugs that tasted as if it were straight from the river in the Chocolate Factory, and chocolate-coated waffles with strawberries and ice cream that tasted like edible happiness. Katherine laughed at me because I couldn't stop smiling after I tasted her waffles.
Not only was there good food, but lovely company too. :)
After Brenner's we went home, and Katherine and Jackie joined us later for dinner. The four of us - me, Mom, Jackie and Katherine - sat outside after we ate and snuggled up on the futon with blankets and Starbursts; and Daddy was kind enough to bring out the little TV and the dvd player so we could have a mini mother-daughter movie-night watching I Love Lucy. The chocolate factory episode, of course.
It was the loveliest moment ever: cuddled up nice and warm on our little back patio with three of my most favorite people on earth, while the little TV flickered through the black-and-white images of Lucy and Ethel that made us laugh til we cried.
Happy birthday Mom. :)
Sounds like the perfect ending to a perfect birthday for your mom (great idea to watch the chocolate factory I Love Lucy episode). I can tell that she had an exceedingly joyful birthday! Thanks for helping to make her day so great! xxoo
ReplyDeleteyes, it was so much fun! since we watched it outside we were joking it was like going to see a drive-in movie, but with a smaller screen much less space to put your legs! which is saying something haha ;)
