Sage's birthday was HER day from start to finish. We started the day by waking her up with a candle lit doughnut and "Happy Birthday" sung by me. (Travis refuses to sing in front of me for fear I will be Simon Cowell. Untrue, by the way.)
I was so excited for her because she's waited for her birthday all year, but maybe the excitement wore her out. She was out cold when we walked in, and it took quite a bit to wake her up.
But when she saw the doughnut and I told her there were presents outside, she woke up.
She had school that day, so that's why we woke her early to give presents before Travis had to go to work.
Her pink toaster she asked for. I think she was happy about it. Love that smile.
Next...
an iron. (Or I-Ruhn, as she pronounces it.) Sage loves anything that makes her more of an adult: her toy vacuum, babies, make-up...this was perfect for her.
And an ironing board to go with it! She irons her clothes everyday now, even her panties. ha! She was very pleased with this.
Then it was time to get ready for school because it was HER day, and she had cupcakes and juice boxes to bring for her class. She had a great day, and they all sang happy birthday to her.
When she got home from school, Nonni and Papa had a special surprise for her, which she had to go and find. It was....a RUG for her room, which she loves. Jaggar has one, and she has asked for one ever since he's had it. She said, "Oh, it's beautiful! It's gorgeous!" An added bonus is that it has squares, which she uses to play hopscotch with.
Then we went downstairs to eat a special lunch that she had requested: Fuji, our favorite Japanese restaurant in town. I ordered carryout after I picked her up from school. Sage is a hardcore sushi lover. I've fed it to her since she was 2, and now she eats the real stuff, even more so than me: salmon eggs. Even THESE are a little too fishy for me, but she loves them. And that is GRAPE juice in that glass. It just made her feel special.
Once Daddy got home, he had something for her too. It was a "happy birthday" charm for her charm bracelet that Santa brought her for Christmas.
Then Nonni and Papa had some more things for her. If you haven't heard of zhu zhu pets, you probably didn't have a child that wanted the 'hot toy' for Christmas. Sage isn't really old enough to know what that is, so I'm the only one that had heard of them from friends that had children crazy over them. Thankfully, in this house, that was not a problem since parents went nuts over them at Christmas. Well, mom looked for them but never could find them until AFTER Christmas, but it was perfect for Sage's birthday. We weren't really sure if they'd be a hit or miss, but no one lost any limbs getting them so it wasn't a big deal...
But I am happy to say that they are a HUGE hit. They are hilarious. Jaggar wants to get one so bad that he can't STAND it, and Sage cackled with laughter over them running all over the house. What a great day she had, and she hasn't even had her party yet!

What a great birthday she had! The picture of her with the toaster, what a great smile--but she also looks pretty grown up too. What a sweet little girl Sage is!
