The happiest part is that Sunday, Son put his foot down and said, "I'm pulling the Birthday Card. I want you guys to come see my house today." AND he is clear he wants US in his life.

We did. Son made dinner, but I brought appetizers (carrots, crackers, cheese and nuts) because hubby and I usually eat by 6pm and both of us were getting a titch dizzy.

AND after everyone had their food in hand, I brought out the ice cream cake, sang Happy Birthday and left. I had also bought a second type of ice cream that was portable and we took that as out desert.
