FIVE? How is that possible?


Gigi turned five.  She was disappointed that she had to go to school, even though she loves it.  Every other birthday, we have always cut corners with preschool, or I have joined her at NatureChild.  Well, now it is kindy, and we just can't skip school.  Instead, I surprised Gigi and came to her class in the morning.  Here she is when she first saw me.

Mrs. P gave her a birthday crown.


And, I read two of her favorite books.  The Curious Garden, a gift from Zoe, and Three Hens and a Peacock, from Grandma.  Mrs. P had never read either of the books which was great.  Seemed like most of the children had not heard of Three Hens... but a few have The Curious Garden.


The Halloween costumes arrived on her birthday so of course, we tried them on.


And, for her birthday, she received Periwinkle costume (Tinkerbell's sister in the new movie)


We had a lovely traditional steak dinner with Kelli as a special guest.




All in all, a lovely day.
