12th Birthday Distancing - Day 31 (Day 45)

Thursday April 30th - The girls turn 12!



Jay and I woke up early and wrapped their gifts, we got them Apple Watches off kijiji, used Series 3 watches.  I didn’t do my workout this morning, I waited for the girls to wake up instead.



Paige has taken to sleeping in our room or Sophie’s.  This morning we found her at the bottom of our bed on her makeshift bed of blankets.  So when Jay got up to do a ride I got him to lift her up into our bed so that she could sleep.

The girls finally got up!!  Jay had to run to an appointment at the physio place so then we all waited for him to get home.

First we watched their birthday video.

Then, they got to open their gifts.  We wrapped them in a few different boxes with newspaper because its all we had!

(Here is an interesting comparison, my Mom didn’t think my new phone takes better photos than my old. The pictures above of watching the videos are from Sophie’s iPhone 7 and the ones below are from my iPhone 11pro - I took some with Sophie’s because mine was in the bedroom)















I think they liked them!

Next delivery was their balloons!!



















After their balloons were delivered I went into town to pick up our grocery order.  When asked what they wanted for lunch - McFlurries and French Fries!







Our first Birthday Visit!  Auntie was NOT supposed to get anything for the girls for their birthday because she bought them Bluntstones for Christmas so when she made a face at the girls who were behind me as we were chatting I turned around and said “Was there a gift in that card?!”  $50.  Spoiled girls!



Dessert requested was Mars Brownies so I’ll make my regular brownie recipe but add Mars chunks, 6 Mars Bars worth of chunks to be exact!




I also baked Skor Cookies, these are for Kobe for his birthday tomorrow.



Birthday visit number 2!















The Middletons also brought Jay a little care package that included some Ballinger bars!

The Mars Brownies look good - a bit of a Mars Explosion.





Birthday visit number 3!













Well there was one good one in the middle there!

They also had a visit from their hockey Coach, Jim, he brought them cookies from McDonald’s where his son, Jason, works.  And Jim and Maria came for a visit as well but I forgot to take a photo!

The Faust’s came over for dinner, the girls requested stir fry so that’s what we had.  I also stopped in town and got ice cream from Kawartha Dairy when I was in town earlier today - so we had the brownies (which were delicious) with chocolate peanut butter or vanilla ice cream.


Today’s numbers:
22 cases in Uxbridge now, I missed a couple of days, and another death in a long term care facility.
