Party Time!

Hey Kids,

Put down that Christmas wrap,

and clear a space on the table . . .

I’m about to serve you a nice big slice of birthday cake!!!

That’s right! It’s Paulette’s birthday! πŸ˜€


Step right up, Paulette, and put on your pink party crown!

We know you love winter and especially snow . . . so here’s wishing that snow will arrive for your birthday (or at least for your “birthday weekend”!) Enjoy your special day. πŸ˜€

I’d love to celebrate all the birthdays here on the blog. I lost my b-day list when the computer went down a few weeks ago, so if you sent your date before, or would like to add it now, for the first time – please email it to me at this address:

Have a joyful weekend, everyone! With the holidays just around the corner, let’s keep reminding each other to take a deep breath now and then. We don’t want to miss any of those quiet moments that make the season special. πŸ™‚

See you Monday!

Hugs,

Cupcakes For All

Grab your party hats and noisemakers, Kids!

It’s Donna’s birthday. πŸ™‚


Shall we sing?

What’s that? You want to warm up first?

Ok . . . mmmmi-mi-mi-mi-miiiiiiiiii… (ahem). πŸ˜‰

Ready now?

Happy Birthday, Dear Donna . . .

Haaaapy Birrrthday tooo youuuuu!!!

Congratulations Donna! (don_mae) πŸ˜€

I’m going to guess your birthday has actually fallen on Thanksgiving Day multiple times over the years. Tell us about that…… please? Is it a good day for a birthday, or did you feel you were sharing the spotlight with the holiday (as Christmas babies often do)?

By the way, did you know if you blow out a virtual candle on a virtual cupcake, your wish will come true?!?! Yep! πŸ™‚

Enjoy your day, Donna!

Sunrise Sunset

Please forgive me if my recent posts have been heavy on the family stuff. I have just one more to finish the week. I’m guessing you’ll let me off the hook because today is my daughter’s birthday! πŸ™‚

The song, “Sunrise Sunset”, from “Fiddler on the Roof” has the kind of lyrics that tug at the ole heartstrings of a parent. That tune was playing in my head as I looked at photos of her earliest celebrations. I don’t think she’ll mind if I mention she’s “thirty-something” today. πŸ˜‰

Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?
I don’t remember growing older
When did they?

2nd birthday

When did she get to be a beauty?
When did he grow to be so tall?
Wasn’t it yesterday
When they were small?
