Landry's 5th Birthday: Celebration of Life

 
 
It's hard to believe that Landry is 5 years old. Then again, she's so much more mature than the typical 5 year old...most of the time. She has given us so many memories that we will hold dear to our hearts. We look forward to many more.
 
At Landry's school they do what's called the Celebration of Life. The birthday boy or girl carries a small globe around a candle. The candle represents the sun and walking around the sun with the globe represents a year passing. At each year old the girl or boy shares a poster of pictures of their life. The class sings Happy Birthday and has a (healthy) snack brought by the birthday girl or boy.
 
Landry is carrying the globe around the "sun" as the class sings "Here we go around the sun, around the sun, around the sun. Here we go around the sun until the year is done."

 
Now she's sharing her poster of pictures.

 
 
 
 
Also, as a year is done a candle is lit. After all of the candles have been lit they get blown out.

 
 
 
 
Landry is gettting her birthday hugs from Mrs. Masooma.

 
Landry was given the choice of where she wanted her birthday dinner. She chose Red Lobster.
 
Daddy and Landry.

 
 
Mommy and Landry.

 
 
Blowing out more candles as we queitly sang Happy Birthday.
 
Reagan went with us to Red Lobster. She's not in the pictures because she slept almost the whole time we were there.
 
 
Here's a video of the class singing to Landry.
