Mary is 30 years old today.  We had a little party between classes.  Our family, Megumi and Iiori attended. The baby sitters and the kids decorated Mary’s cake (Mary baked it beforehand). We decorated the kitchen and gave her a party.

Happy Birthday to You!!

For the Carrot Cake

Decorated by Kids and Babysitters

One of the things that Mary wanted was a Kitty chan party.  So we got a Kitty party set. The cake was pink and we got strawberry ice cream to go with it (someone said Kittychan likes strawberries).

Kittychan was the Theme

Time to Open Presents

I gave her a briefcase (she is a teacher) and the girls gave her a kitty pillow. These presents were a surprise.  The clothes she got had been selected, resized to fit perfectly and handed to me for purchase at Uniglow. I brought them home and had the boys help me wrap them.  Mary seemed happy to get them back today, (and why shouldn’t she be).

It took long enough, but I think we have a system to avoid dissapointment, hurt feelings and the bother of returns.  It truely was a happy birthday.
