The topic for the next edition of the Carnival of Genealogy will be: A Birthday Party! Yep, we're having a birthday party here at the COG and you're all invited! Whose birthday is it? Mine. :-) November is the month of my birthday and in honor of me I'd like to invite you to share a birthday story.
Your story can be about a birthday party you hosted or was held for you. It can be a tribute to someone on your family tree who has a November birthday. Or, it can be a fantasy about your dream birthday!
I went checking, not a lot of birthday party photos on the computer. Well, hmmmpphhh. I had just a few parties, well, I can only remember a few. I found a few photos of birthdays from my kids. A few of Man, his first and second birthday photos were pretty cute. Yes, I blogged them, birthday number one is here, and that second birthday is here. Alas, nothing struck me as blog worthy, or I had used it already, so, I decided, that since Jasia was having a birthday, I would gather a few items and just throw her a party.
So, Jasia, Let's Parteeeeeee!!
Here are some balloons to decorate with:
Later in the evening we will have some fireworks:
MUST have a hat! (Thank you to our lovely model, Son # 3.)
And, of course, a cake (actually I borrowed this from Son # 2's fourth birthday party). We all love a carousel right? I'll fight ya for the giraffe looking creature, I have never ridden a giraffe before! Or maybe that is a funny looking long necked horse?
Here is your present, sure hope you like it:
And, last, but, NOT least, a little bubbly to wash it all down:
Happy Birthday Jasia!

Thank you, Carol, for the wonderful birthday surprise! I can't tell you what this means to me but just know that it brought both a smile and a tear to my face. Thank you, dear friend!
Carol, what a neat idea --- Just throw your own BDay party for Jasia!! Makes us all smile.
LOL. What a lovely birthday tribute to Ms. Jasia! Son #2 was a good sport to wear that hat, and I must say your husband was pretty cute back in the day...
Hey, Carol, thanks for letting us join in the birthday party fun for Jasia! Happy Birthday, Jasia!
