Ooo what have you got planned for your darling Ichigo for his birthday, if you don't mind em asking~
Hehe of course I dont mind!!
This is gonna be part 1 bc Amira asked me this ask well uwu 🫶🏾.
But first, allow me to start with yesterday!!
Yesterday, our entire family was kidnapped by our friends in soul society to celebrate him. They chose yesterday, because they knew today, his actual birthday, would be saved for me n our kids :3.
It was a whole thing lmao. Dramatics and silly moments and sweet treats and surprise monetary gifts, rewards of sorts, etc.
That was the first half of yesterday. The second half would be spent with the Karakura gang just catching up and chilling fr (the kids would stay at the Urahara shoten).
Now with that prelude out of the way~
Let's talk about the first half of this special day I have planned for my lovely guy :3 🧡
It is all about showing heem how loved he is, sentimental style.
He and I take the kids over to Grandpa Isshin's place to have a family breakfast with him, aunt Yuzu, auntie Karin, and Grandma Masaki's picture.
When we arrive Yuzu is cooking (I go to help her), Karin is setting the table (Ichigo helps her), and kids end up playing with Isshin.
When everything is ready and we all have our plates fixed, our eldest sons (twins) run to the kitchen. One of them returns with some whipped cream; the other with a small candle. They put each on Ichigo's stack of pancakes, and then I light the candle.
We all sing him happy birthday 🎂. And after he makes his wish, we each take turns saying things we love about him <33333. Eventually it all revolves into regular talk, reminiscing, shared stories about when Ichigo was younger, etc. It is a lovely time :)))).
After we finish eating and cleaning up, we all go to the living room. And there is when cards from everyone and little gifts— bought or made— are presented to him.
It's not that the similar happenings of yesterday didn't mean much to him, but there's just something particularly touching to him in this intimate context of family, y'know?
I see the way his heart melts all over him while we're there. Especially from the things he receives from our children. And it just makes me the happiest girlie ever truly sobs.
We spend time hanging out and just having quality family time until the late afternoon.
Ichigo and I prepare to leave, but our kiddies will be staying over until late tomorrow 🙂↕️.
Thank you for asking my dearest patchy 😘💋💋💋
