The Cyber Birthday

Hey guys! Sorry I haven’t posted in a while but now I can tell you all about Pablo’s modern day birthday bash!

It started out when my mom got the idea for a tiny little birthday party in Pablo’s classroom. It was going to be simple. We prepared gift bags and bought tiny cupcakes; and we were planning for singing Happy Birthday. Mom had the intention of excusing me from the classroom and singing HB with mom and Pablo’s teacher…but it went horribly wrong!  The office wouldn’t excuse me from class, she was not allowed to light a candle, the teacher preferred to put the gift bags in the kids backpacks at the end of the day, half of the kids didn’t pay attention (including Pablo), and they almost didn’t sing HB. I also had prepared a packet with little notes and portraits from my friends and I to Pablo (even if they didn’t know him) so I was pretty disappointed.

Since the birthday party was a disaster we decided to have a little birthday moment right before dinner. When we called our family members to have a piece of the moment, we were getting calls to put on speaker so they can at least hear what was happening  on our phones, Skype on our computers and “facetime” on my IPAD. Since we wanted all of the family members to have that experience we had to do it twice!! JJ But it was an amazing CYBER BIRTHDAY! Since only some of his classmates ate cupcakes, obviously I had to take a little nibble. Grandma got all emotional and when we finished the HB mom and dad both gave Pablo a high five and Pablo put both of his hands up to high five mama and papa… honestly a pretty cute moment! After we sang HB we just ate our dinner and laughed at that very emotional moment.


Pablo was smiling, relatives were singing, basically just an awesome time…
