Celebrations

What a wonderful weekend!

Today was our dog, Daisy's 2nd birthday....and her 2 week anniversary of living at our house. We only celebrated the birthday, though. Olivia is a party girl. She loves to celebrate....anything and everything. Last month, we had a birthday party for our goldfish Belle and Jasmine. They had been with us for one year on March 17. I awoke that morning to the sound of the "Happy Birthday" song by Olivia and Caroline. They were singing to the fish. It was an important day.

Olivia has been planning this little celebration for the dog since the first day Daisy came to live with us. She gathered up a "table curtain", snacks (Goldfish and Wheat Thins), paper plates, cups and drink and we had a party at the picnic table!

I need to learn from Olivia. Celebrate. Celebrate the ones we love. Do special things for special people (or dogs or fish). Don't hold back. Make the extra effort. Take the time. It's worth it.
