Yesterday started the birthday train at our house, and it rolls on through May. First on board is my middle daughter, Princess S. She is now a very grown up six years old.
She had a fabulous day filled with little gifts, a cool new hot pink Bible (NIV), cards from far-away relatives and lots if well wishes. Around here we like to start our birthdays off with a little token from the “birthday fairy” when they wake up. She bought the idea and when she awoke to find her Little Mermaid night light she was thrilled–and commented that she was surprised she didn’t hear the ruffling wings of the fairy’s flight. Don’t ask me where that fairy idea came from. You may not be keen on fairies, but around here we think them to be quite lovely…
Saturday we will surprise her with a trip to the mall with a friend for a bite to eat and a trip to Build-a-Bear. She’s never been so I think she will love it.
Next up: me on the 17th. Some days I feel like the birthday train ran me over…
