July 13, 2010Today was Vickie's birthday... our unbelievable next door neighbor. Because she is so special to us and especially to Pearl, I took Pearl to the store to have her pick out a gift for her. Pearl kept telling me we were at the wrong store because you couldn't buy a princess birthday cake here. She was convinced that Vickie, who eats NO sweets despite bringing us cookies every Sunday, wanted a princess birthday cake just like she had gotten for her birthday. Needless to say it was a battle to get her to cooperate because she didn't understand that Vickie doesn't like cake and because she wanted me to buy her a new bike. After many threats and I'm sure some looks from fellow customers that I was a mom on edge, we finally found some yard decorations that Pearl liked. Of course we had to get the lady bug one since Vickie has about 5 million lady bug decorations scattered throughout her house and yard. Pearl is always happy to go over and see David and Vickie but tonight she was extra excited to get to give her a present and sing happy birthday. And I'm pretty sure Vickie was just as happy to see her.
