This year, I knew she'd be expecting a balloon curtain on her door so I decided to throw her for a loop and tied the "tie dye" colored balloons individually to weights which lead to a yummy surprise! She followed the balloons one by one and was surprised by an assortment of donuts stacked in the shape of a cake! She was pleasantly pleased! Then, I played the happy birthday song while the family gathered to sing Happy Birthday. She made a wish and blew all TWELVE of her candles.
I wanted to do something different yet special since her bday feel on a weekday and I could no longer bring cupcakes like I did every year in elementary :( So, I thought this would be perfect for a quick morning celebration! She then changed into her birthday outfit she picked out and wore her flashing pin. After I picked her up after school, she told me she had an awesome day! Her entire choir class sung to her and all the girls in the locker room did too. All her teacher and even students she hadn't met yet were congratulating her all day. She said she felt so special! I love seeing her smile :)
This is how her sweet surprise unfolded...
