Oky's birthday was on Wednesday, May 5th. In her entire life, she's never had a birthday cake or a birthday party. Obviously, we didn't think that was right so we tried to make extra sure that it was a special day. At school we made some streamers and posters and got up at 5:30am the morning of to decorate her door. When she came out to make breakfast for us, she was so surprised she started crying. That evening we had plans to buy a cake, give her a present, and take her out to dinner. However, it turns out one of her friends had planned a surprise party, so she left for the night and we postponed our plans for tonight.
This morning we decided to give her the present. We each made a card and had a photo of the 4 of us printed and framed. She cried again when she opened the gift and was so happy. Tonight we're taking her out for dinner with her real daughter, Gigi, and her husband, David. It should be fun! :)
