Double Digit Birthday


I’m well under way with the covert birthday plans. My closet has been taken over by glitter, banners, stickers, ribbons and endless pink tulle, the paraphernalia is everywhere. I've been working on this giant poster size birthday card for hours. The twins are turning 10 in a few days and little do they know, their covert mom (hiding in my closet) has been working hard on making some special surprises to celebrate their happy day.

I’ve gathered birthday messages from friends back home and transferred them on to the giant card. This celebration will have a few layers. We’ll start the day before with our traditional homemade birthday dinner (they want my famous Shrimp Scampi) along with their homemade birthday cake.

After they go to bed I will decorate the house with all this endless pink and then head off to their favorite hotel for a fun afternoon in the pools. Little do they know, two of their friends from school are also on the island and will be joining us at the hotel. I shutter to think how loud their screams will be when they see each other. Still need to decorate their birthday t-shirts, even Dad will be wearing a pink shirt.
