Katie's Giving Nature

I celebrated my birthday a few days before Katie's birthday. This year for my birthday, I was in meetings for a good part of the day, and I had Open House the evening of my birthday. One of my favorite gifts I received that day was a video Jennifer sent me of Katie sing "Happy Birthday" to me. It was so nice to hear her singing voice in the middle of a very busy day.

When I got home, I had two more presents from her. First, she gave me a little Barbie that she had wrapped up for me with lots and lots of tape. She looks for my Barbie every night, so I have to have it in clear view. Currently, it's next to my TV and really adds that special touch to my room.

The other present I got from her was a good laugh. I looked over at her in the evening, and she had pulled her shorts halfway down her thighs. I asked what she was doing, and she laughed and said, "I'm a penguin!" and started laughing. For anyone who has watched Mary Poppins, you might remember Bert stretching his pants down to dance like a penguin - which was her inspiration. If you've never seen the movie, you can view the scene by clicking here.

Happy Birthday to You!
