Throwing a Faux Birthday
Gigi’s birthday is not until February, but she has been talking to my dad a lot on Skype lately and somehow they concocted a while scheme to have a birthday party for her up in WV when we visit. I’m not driving to WV in February. That would be suicide with the snow and the icy roads. I’m looking at an October trip, so we can take in the foliage and enjoy the golden light on the evenings.
Anyway, we’re going to be throwing a faux birthday for Gigi while we’re up there, complete with a Barbie doll-cake and fancy party invitations. It’s still gorgeous up there in October and we can have the party out on the shores of the Shenandoah River, where it butts up to my dad’s property. Of course, it will be too late in the season to go tubing, but maybe we can take a boat out.
The attendees will mostly be relatives and some of my old college friends with their children. Gigi does have a little step-cousin that lives up there, though, so it’ll be fun to have her there. Plus the cousin’s birthday is actually in October, so maybe we have the parties back-to-back. More cake that way – it’s all good.
