Susan's Birthday

On October 8th, we celebrated Susan's 60th birthday. I had already planned to pick up Velvet Cupcakes at the mall for that afternoon and I knew for a while that I wanted to get her a bracelet of necklace from Brighton similar to the one I got my mom with all her grandkid's birthstones on it. That morning, Susan literally said she was thinking of getting herself something from Brighton to commemorate her trip and 60th birthday! Then she said she might like to get Velvet Cupcakes for everyone to enjoy that afternoon. Nic had mentioned a few days earlier that he wanted to get her the photo of the boys together framed. She even mentioned that she would really like to get that photo framed! I couldn't believe it! We had originally wanted to celebrate the night before, but we couldn't pull it off in time and in that moment I sure was wishing we had since I now had to convince Susan not to buy any of those things herself without telling her I had already planned on getting them. 

We went to Gymboree that morning. While Susan and Hudson took the class, Luc and I ran around getting the gifts. Afterwards, we all did some shopping together then we went home. Susan finished packing up and while she took a trip to the grocery store, I set up the gifts and cupcakes. Susan was so surprised! She loved her gifts and started to get all emotional while she opened them. We sang her Happy Birthday, then we had to say our goodbyes. It is always so hard to say goodbye, but thankfully this time we knew we would be seeing her soon in Maui! We absolutely loved having Susan stay with us. She was so helpful, Hudson had the best time playing with Grandma and Luc enjoyed his cuddles. We are very blessed to have Susan in our lives and we hope she had a wonderful 60th Birthday.
