LIFE AROUND OUR PLACE

Cedar's sixth birthday. Look at that smug look on Cedar's face. He is sitting in the high stool receiving his speeches. At each birthday in our family, each person gives a speech to the birthday person, saying all the good things they can think of about them. The children love it. They get filled up with encouragement. I think they enjoy it even better than presents. There are always loads of children at each party--but all cousins! We don't have to go to much trouble to invite--call the cousins and they'll all be there, and it's enough for a big party! Sharar, Evangeline's son is standing on the left.

Eleven year old Arden decorated and organized the entire party.
It is in Serene's home.

Yippee! I won!
