Kaukab’s daughter celebrated her birthday this weekend.
Friends broke out the “Happy Birthday” song–an unexpected surprise. A striking contrast to Saturday’s rendition, the family coaxed by the birthday “girl,” followed with clapping before anyone was allowed to slice into birthday girl’s luscious chocolate cake.
Red roses gifted by Hubby. Uncoaxed.
Bring on the next one.
Kaukab phoned on Saturday to tell me the following:
1. It real cold out up here. Yep.
2. Lilly put out lotta decorations for Halloween. She have a smoke and someteeng make noise.
