#christmasbirdie

I have a teenager on my hands! December 8th was Flash’s 13th hatch day! I still can’t quite wrap my head around the fact that this feathery little bundle of happiness, hilarity, and pure joy has been by my side for THIRTEEN YEARS. I say this every year, and honestly quite a lot throughout the entire 365 days that march on by on the regular, but I swear, my heart grows bigger with each passing moment he’s in my life. Flash fills me with such immense love for such a tiny thing - sometimes it’s overwhelming (but only in the best way possible). We celebrated by putting up lights outside and the Christmas tree inside, he got to play with the ornament boxes (his favorite!), and enjoyed warming his feathery little bum on the lights (as is his annual tradition). To top it off, he got to feast on broccoli, enjoyed all sorts of cuddles and pets, and wound down his night with snuggles and kisses against our necks. Oh Flash man, my little pookie doo, you sweet schnookie boy - I love you with all my heart and more. Happy hatch day, Flashy Pants!
