Rating: Low
Status: In Progress
A whole morning full of sing songs, hanging streamers and charming decorations by wand, running out on last minute errands (the cake!) and a whole host of other things that embellished and entertained and Terry's living room was fairly unrecognisable. Penelope had asked him whether he thought they'd overdone it but was secretly quite proud of their effort
Ben had little clue as to what was going on, of course, only that his mum and dad were in the same place at the same time and that something altogether different than usual was happening. He'd been up most of the night again, grizzly with the pain in his gums, but there were so many distractions he was feeling neither tired nor grumpy. In fact, each time he'd raised his hands to be picked up he'd been lifted up high and either snuggled, sang to or thrown up in the air and made to chuckle and it had been the best.
People had started to arrive just before two and Terry and Penelope took turns welcoming their visitors inside and offering them a drink before telling them to help themselves to the food that was set up on a small table at the far side of the room. It wasn't much, just sandwiches and pies with some nibbles like crisps and dips but the cake took pride of place in the center and each time she looked over in it's general direction she felt warmth bloom inside her chest. The baker really had done a wonderful job and Penelope hoped she'd remember to thank him again tomorrow when everything had calmed down.
