"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

M's Pretend Birthday

The night before M's pretend birthday at Grandma Kathleen's, she threw up.

All over her entire bed.

That morning, she threw up again, all over Grandma's couch.

Luckily, she was feeling a little better for her party... since she has waited three years for it to come.



Laura made the cake for her and cousin Sarah, complete with figurines to match. M tried eating her figurine, but ended up dropping it on the ground where it was quickly inhaled by one of the many dogs wandering about.




We did not get her dressed or do her hair for her special day since she was not feeling too well. Grandma Penny tried not to comment.


M had a great time and is pretty sure her "Party" is still happening. I think she thinks Christmas will all be about her.

That girl NEEDED a pink cake! (And she looks so cute with red headband - I"m going to have to make some and send them to you - it's a hair-do in an instant!)
Wish we could have spent more time together - hope you enjoy your Christmas!
