For about four weeks, our plans to celebrate Jasmine's birthday were thwarted by health issues, bad weather, and a handful of schedule conflicts. After week 3, I was fairly convinced that the party simply wouldn't happen and was hoping that the in-house celebration we had on her birthday would satisfy any hopes for hoopla. But last week, with everyone back to full health and Lela volunteering to shuttle Zuri (Jasmine's only requested invite) to the designated rendezvous point, it was finally time to kick off the second half of the birthday festivities. As expected, the 4-week wait was an instant distant memory for the birthday girl, and all 3 big kids had a ball. I personally reveled in the simplicity of it all (50 cent cupcakes and a leisurely stroll through Riverbanks Zoo); and (after 3 pony rides, 2 train rides, and two rides on the merry-go-round) the three musketeers were content and perfectly poised for a nap on the car ride home. Once again, happy birthday, Jasmine Olivia. Hopefully it was worth the wait.
