Found the old streamers, but where's the blasted confetti cannon?
Curses! That's the second one this week!
Tsk, what a waste. I guess we'll have to settle for good old fashioned balloons this time. And don't even get me started on those cheap party horns.
Damian, do you think we should check that old trunk in the corner?
Yeah, why not? Could be treasure trove of party supplies hidden inside... Or another confetti cannon that's seen better days.
They open the box and a cloud of glitter pours out.
Ah, well, this could work. Glitter might just be the answer to our prayers. I guess it's time to get creative with the old glue gun.
Oh, never mind. Just thought we could use some of my secret party tricks.
Party tricks? What kind of parties do you go to? They chuckle.
I mean, they're not exactly conventional parties. Let's just say that when I'm done, you'll never look at decorations the same way again.
Just remember, Damian, the party's for Hunter. Not about impressing us. She smiles.
Of course, MidnightRaven. It's all about making sure little Hunter has the best first birthday ever. So, where do you suggest we start?
How about with some glittery garlands? Hunter would love those.
Ah, glittery garlands. Sounds like a plan. Now let's go put some sparkle in Hunter's world.
A couple hours later, a perfect amount of glitter was applied across the room.
Alright, time to turn this place into a winter wonderland. Starts setting up glittery snowflakes on the walls
Damo, are you sure this much glitter is necessary?
Absolutely, MidnightRaven. You've got to go big or go home when it comes to glitter. Trust me, Hunter will thank us later.
It ends up being almost midnight, their efforts finally finished. Damian and MidnightRaven lay on their backs staring up at the starry sky through the skylight above.
Well, that was quite the day, huh MidnightRaven? But hey, it's all worth it in the end.
True… They trail off, their thoughts beginning to wander. Eventually, they just fall asleep where they laid.
Wakes up, stretches and yawns Well, time to get up and face the consequences of our glittery masterpiece. Hope MidnightRaven brought her broom.
The entire next day is spent cleaning up the mess from the previous night. Damian, MidnightRaven, and even Hunter clean. Eventually, the glitter becomes more bearable.
Alright, it looks like we've finally managed to contain the glitter storm. Whew, that was a lot more work than I anticipated.
Can you believe he slept through all the ruckus? He's such a sound sleeper.
Heh, yeah, little Hunter seems impervious to our glittery chaos. Guess he really does take after his uncle then.
Sure does…glances at the baby boy laying on Damian’s chest asleep.
So, MidnightRaven, do you think we should start planning another epic celebration for Hunter's next birthday? Maybe a pirate themed extravaganza this time?
Leaning back against the couch, hands tucked behind her head Hell yeah, let's make it happen. Where do you want to go from here?
How about we hit up the local party supply store and check out their selection of pirate-themed decorations and costumes?
