Anyways, Suzanne had a great birthday party!
One of Suzanne's best traits is her generosity. If she gets a roll of Smarties from her teacher (her teacher uses candy to reward good behavior), she volunteers to share them with Elizabeth, and even will give the extra candy (Smarties are packaged in an odd-number) to her big sister. On her birthday, she received a packet of cards that are rainbow colored but covered in black wax. You get a wooden stylus and scrape off the wax to reveal the color beneath. In this way you can draw pictures or write words or whatever. After Suzanne unwrapped this gift, and all of her friends oohed and ahhed over the awesomeness, she just started handing them out and ended up giving away much of the gift she'd just received -- happily so. She's just that kind of person.

| The pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey game went horribly awry. The first child to go did not have their vision obstructed enough (my fault), and thus nailed the tail. Every kid thereafter learned to braille the donkey until they found the first, accurate tail, to which they would affix their own. |

| Suzanne loves her gift! |
 |
| Suzanne has a lot of friends. |
 |
| The kids made Christmas ornaments at the party. These are some of the finished products, waiting for the paint to dry. |

| The Wheeler-Kay-Cohens came by after the party and helped make Christmas cards. |

| Suzanne wanted a rubber chicken. Suzanne got a rubber chicken. Suzanne loves her rubber chicken. |
