Genevieve's 5th Birthday Celebration at School

For Genevieve's birthday Ollie and I got to come to her "Circle Time" at school for a little celebration. In the Montessori school they do something called "The Celebration of Life". The birthday boy or girl holds the earth in their hands and walks once around the circle for each year of their life. Before each year I got to share a photo and a little about Genevieve during that year. Genevieve loved showing all her friends the pictures of her growing up. Afterwards candles were lit to represent the moment of birth and each year on the earth, followed by singing Happy Birthday. Genevieve then got to share a birthday treat of Minnie Mouse cookies (Genevieve's choice). It was a special way to celebrate our big girl turning 5 with her class! Happy Birthday, Genevieve!
