We usually have birthday parties on Sunday after church so the majority of the time they don't fall on their actual birthday. This year, Emily's birthday was on a Sunday so I was thinking it would be nice for her to be able to celebrate on her actual birthday (we always do something smaller on their actual birthday if the party isn't on the actual day). And then, COVID-19 happened and everything shut down and we were restricted to not gathering with people who don't live with you, so the party was out. I still made the meal Emily wanted (slow cooker mac-n-cheese) and we did a cake and presents. We just didn't have the grandparents and other family members that are usually present. I did a Facebook Live (my first one ever) while we lit the candles on the cake, sang 'Happy Birthday', and Emily blew out the candles. That way at least everyone could participate virtually even if they couldn't be present physically.
