Today was my 32nd birthday. This morning my 7 year old Jenna and 4 year old Mikayla were so excited to see me and wish me a happy birthday before I went to work. They spent the entire day planing the perfect birthday for me. When I say they, I meant mom drove and paid but Jenna and Mikayla made all of the decisions. My little girls decided since I was so lucky to have Cars 2 open on my birthday they must take me to see it. The first Cars was a hit in the Mitchell house and we had seen it a hundred times or so. They also decided my party needed a theme so the got me Cars 2 plates, and cake decorations. Jenna was very upset that mom sad no to the pinata idea. When I got home I was showered with love from 2 very excited little girls wishing me a happy birthday. I was given a stack of homemade cards, and gifts. Then my girls preceded to tell me about all of the hard work they had put into my birthday over dinner. Once dinner was over my 7 year old had a surprise for me. Hanging from the stairs was a homemade Pinata. She had tied a string to a plastic bag that hung from the top of the stairs. She then handed me a large TV remote to swing at it. Once my eye mask was securely on and I had been spun around 3 time. I went at the Pinata wielding my large TV remote with my 7 year old controlling the string and giggling uncontrollably. When I finally got the Pinata open a piece of paper fell out. I opened it and Jenna said it is a birthday song I wrote for you dad. She got her guitar, looked up at me and sang the cutest birthday song ever. She didn't even need the song sheet. She had practiced so much she new all of the words.
Sitting in the move theater tonight with the most amazing little family ever. I looked at Jenna and Mikayla and thought to myself. I could care less about how old I get every year. What scares the hell out of me is that one day these girls are going to grow up, and I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to handle that.
I also want to put out a very special thanks to the amazing love of my life that helped assist my daughters to day and making my favorite cake for me. I love you so much.
