Emari's Favorite Birthday Books

We love celebrating birthdays at our house and even though we have so many to celebrate throughout the year it always seems that our kids special days stretch out from the official date of birth to the surrounding weekend. Emari's celebration began Friday at school when her teacher gave her a special birthday crown. She wore that crown to a prayer meeting Friday night and then to church on Sunday morning. We had a Madeline party for her on Sunday complete with macaroni and cheese and croissants. Then on Monday she had cupcakes with her class to celebrate once more. Family from out of town let me know that she will be getting more gifts in the mail this coming week. This girl knows how to party!

As if it wasn't getting enough attention, we spent last week reading books about birthdays and Emari had a few favorites that I would like to share with you here.

Angelina's Birthday by Katharine Holabird

The Birthday Fish by Dan Yaccarino
