"Happy birthday pretty girl!" I squealed at the bouncing Luna in her crib. "You're one today gorgeous!" I lifted her up "Can you say Thena yet?" she babbled some and touched my face. "Well that answers my question," I giggled setting her down to change her and put her into her birthday dress and bow.

"What a pretty princess," I coo carrying her out of her room and downstairs to the kitchen where Caroline was. "There's the birthday girl!" she cheered and I handed her Luna. I went over and changed the calendar blocks from November fifth to November sixth before grabbing some cereal and meeting Em and Dex out in the living room for our usual SpongeBob episodes.

"Is Harry coming for Lulu's birthday?" Emmy asks leaning into my side "Yes he is he should be here soon, he offered to help mommy set up since Asher is gone for the morning." I brush her hair away from her face.

Asher went to Pitt yesterday to talk to their coach about possibly playing there, and dad went down with him. They're suppose to be back around noon today when family starts to arrive. I was still currently in sweatpants and an old soccer t-shirt watching cartoons with Dex and Emmy, getting ready hadn't even crossed my mind yet.

"Do you think Harry would play football with me Thena?" Dex asked me "Definitely bug," I smiled "do you remember seeing him play like Asher?" He nods "Him and Ash are both really good, I wanna play like them." I smiled "You'll be even better," I whispered and he giggled.

"Thena Harry's calling can I answer?" Emmy asks holding up my phone "Sure princess go ahead."

"Hi Harry!" she squealed into the phone "Thena's on the couch with Dexter, she said you're coming today!" she giggled sitting down on the floor. "Thena what time do you want Harry to come over?" Em asks looking over at me "Tell him he can come over anytime he wants to, I'm just not ready at all yet."

"Sissy said you can come over whenever she hasn't gotten ready yet though, like her makeup and stuff." She put her hand over her mouth and giggled "Thena Harry said you're beautiful without makeup!" I chuckled and held out my hand "Let me talk to this cheeseball bug."

She walks over and hands me my phone "Beautiful huh?" I chuckle into the phone while getting off the couch "You're funny." "Oh c'mon angel you know it's true," he says "you're an angel for a reason." I set the three bowls in the sink "I won't say anything to that," I say heading up the stairs. "You should be saying that you're beautiful, but it's okay I'll say it for you." I could practically feel Harry's cheeky grin through the phone.

"So want me around anytime love?" Harry asks "Yeah whenever you want to come over, Em and Dexter are about to get dressed and I just came up to my room to get ready now." I sat down at my little desk to start my makeup. "I'll finish wrapping Luna's present and I'll be over in about twenty minutes then, sound good?" "Sounds great H," I say with a smile "See you then A." "Drive safe H."

I set my phone down and put on some music to listen to while I did my makeup. I was just about done with my makeup when Emmy came skipping into my room "Sissy can you braid my hair?" she giggled. "Sure thing bug, take a seat in my chair," I get up "did you grab hair ties?" She shakes her head so I grab two small ones off my dresser and begin braiding her hair into two pigtails.

"Thanks Thena!" Emmy giggled jumping off my chair and running out of my room. I quickly put on the last bits of my makeup and then change into my dress and shoes before throwing my hair up in a messy bun with a random headband I found on my dresser.
