The snowball tree reminds me of my childhood, my Mom had several in her garden. What a unique birthday cake--so fun. Your granddaughter is lovely and this sounds like a wonderful book with lots of life lessons and enjoyable reading.<br />AnnAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13841651518661408615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8615606300817091791.post-53721179345704752822013-06-14T04:44:19.730-04:002013-06-14T04:44:19.730-04:00You've had a busy week.

My mother has a snow ball bush and every year I take the grandchildren down when it is near its end of blossom, they stand under it and we pretend it is snowing, they just love the fun of the moment, now last but not least Chloe's birthday how much fun, and the book of course fabulous.
