celebration

She said that it was "just her birthday," that it was "no big deal." But we scoffed at the idea. The 3 of us have been besties for much longer than we haven't. And birthdays are a great way to celebrate each other, especially if no one else does.

So, we surprised her with a day of play. Fun, no-pressure, low-key PLAY.
