A Party to Remember

We will be celebrating a very special birthday in our family this weekend.  Our Granny is turning 80.  Quite an accomplishment, especially in the eyes of a four and six-year-old.  Since we couldn't be in town for the actual birthday, Little Man and I decided to order some flowers and balloons to mark the occasion.  He was super excited about his purple flowers and even dictated exactly what the card would read ("I love you"). 

Diva wasn't able to go with us, but he couldn't wait to share the details when we picked her up from school. 
It went something like this:
LM: "We got flowers for Granny!"
Diva: "I wanted to go!"
LM: "You can't go.  You have to go to school.  We're going to have a birthday for her."
Diva:  "No we're not."
LM: "We ARE!  We are having a birthday party for Kiki's Granny that's going to heaven!"
Daddy: "She isn't planning on going there Sunday ... is she?"

While I am pleased to learn that Granny will be going to heaven, I would prefer not to be known as the one that hastened that journey. 
Well, that settles it.  We definitely won't be yelling "SURPRISE!!!" at that party!
