Anthony's Birthday Party

For the kids' birthday's, since they were very young, my mom would have them a special birthday chair for Sunday lunch. It would have streamers and signs. The first sign would greet them at the door as they were coming in. As they got older, she had thought she could quit with the special seat, signs, and decorations but that doesn't seem to be happening any time soon. They seem to like them more as they get older. They come in and stop at all of the signs to read them and they dare someone to get their birthday seat.

Along with their decorations, they also have a birthday cake that is decorated especially for them. It stays hidden until it is time to blow out the candles but they are always anxious to see what she has done for them each year. This year, it was somewhat of an "insider" job. Only he and the immediate family knows what the significance of this cake is but you can tell he thinks it quite funny.

The anticipation of him seeing his present is written all over the face of everyone around the table. He was very unsuspecting.

This birthday for Anthony brought as much joy, or more, to everyone else as it did him.
