I was 5. I was in my favorite outfit, a blouse with denim gauchos and a matching vest. The party was at Papa Gino's and I got to go in the kitchen and make my own pizza. The cake had jelly beans all over it, my mother must have snagged a deal on clearance candy after Easter. And I got a Super Star Barbie. The first time I can remember wishing for a certain gift, and I actually got it. Like my wish really did come true!
Back then who would have thought that 33 years later I'd spend my day with my family, racing out of church afraid we'll be late for our baseball game. Sitting in the sun while my two little ones buy too much candy from the concession stand, and my oldest strikes out three batters. My husband buying flowers and a cake and taking us out for dinner. That little girl never could have imagined how it would turn out. Like a wish really did come true!
Happy Birthday to me.

Happy Birthday Laura! It sounds like you had the perfect day. Crazy how things change over the years isn't it?
Cute picture for sure! We should line up our pics of five together... I had a dashing red flowered shirt going on with the Dorothy Hamill haircut! You look so cute and I loved the description of your day! Let's get lunch together the week the kids go back to school... even if it is out on my enclosed porch while Isaac and Travie play downstairs! :)
