Today was the day. It was Greg's birthday. I hoped he would not be down about his dad not being there for his birthday. I hoped with all of us there to celebrate that would be enough for him.

I know it would never take the place of his parents being there he had lost both of them. It was going to be hard. I could not even fathom not having family in my life.

I loved my aunt Alice. She meant the world to me. Ever since my parents had been to busy to be there for me my aunt took over.

She loved me as her own child. As she loved the Brady kids. I was thrilled to finally get to now know the Brady clan. I was grateful they were apart of my life. I finish wrapping Greg's gift I had made myself.

I knitted him a sweater for this winter with matching gloves and a hat. Auntie had been teaching me how to knit. I think the set turned out rather nicely for my first go at it. I was not the greatest when it came to crafting. But I loved to try anything new. At least once.

"Hey Daisy, can you place more balloons over on the wall there? We think it looks a tad lonely" jokes Jan as she points to the right-hand wall there in the dining room area. We were setting up for the birthday event.

"Look everyone the cake is done!" calls our aunt Alice.

We ohh and ahh. She comes carrying a cake that had three layers. It was beautiful. It was a dark chocolate brown. The frosting was to the point perfect. It smelled wonderful.

We begin to add candles on the cake, to and light them one by one. Greg would be here any moment with Bobby. Jennifer was here with Pete. I was thrilled the two hit it off.

"What a gorgeous cake Alice you really out did yourself" Jan praises Alice's culinary skills.

"Really terrific cake" agrees Marcia.

"He is going to flip when he sees it" says Peter.

"Wow Alice" gushes Mrs. Brady. "wonderful cake"

"Thanks all" says auntie.

"Remember I love strawberry cake when it is my day" I joke.

Everyone laughs.

"Why are the lights so low?" I hear Greg say outside the door.

"He is here!" calls out Jan. "get ready!"

We hide around the room and giggle.

"What is going on? Where is everyone?" Greg wonders as he comes in the room.

"Happy birthday!" we all cheer loudly.

A happy smile beams on his handsome face when he sees us.
