Happy Birthday Emily!

“Happy birthday, Emily,” sang Molly, Linda, and Susan cheerfully. Despite having had a combined birthday party with Molly last spring, the girls thought it was important that she got to have her own special birthday tea party today on her actual birthday. Molly helped Emily position the birthday crown on her head. “It looks perfect,…

Happy Birthday Cécile!

Cécile was able to spend time with Marie-Grace on her birthday today. They met up and practiced singing a new piece. What better way to spend your birthday than making music with a friend!

Happy Birthday, Kit!

Happy Birthday Kit Kittredge! If Kit were a real person, she would be 83 years old today! Here are some pictures of Kit celebrating with her basset hound, Grace. They are extra festive with their party hats which I think are perfect for Kit. These recycled projects are perfect for a penny-pincher party and they…
