Reed's birthday during quarantine is basically what Reed's birthday not during quarantine would have been, except that we didn't get to share the day with his grandparents. We did facetime with them so that they could see him opening the presents they sent. It was very sad not to have them here in person but for Reed, getting to open and explore his new gifts was still very exciting.
Reed requested cinnamon buns and bacon and scrambled eggs and fruit salad for his special birthday meal, along with both cupcakes and ice cream cake. We lucked out by finding a Carvel Frozen II ice cream cake at Wegmans, which he loved. Favorite gifts were a stuffed Dobby toy, a bath-ready Moana doll, a Mighty Pup tower, and lots and lots of great My Little Pony toys, books, games and stickers.
His birthday was as beautiful and warm and springlike as the day he was born, but we didn't attempt any major trips or adventures. The boys set up the sprinkler in the backyard, we did bubbles, and we did a lot of sticking close to home. It was a great day.
