Congratulations!
My daughter's birthday was yesterday, on easter sunday! She had six friends over, we had plenty of chocolate, cake, easter eggs, a quadcopter and ... a garden party with more than a hundred happy bare toes (counting my sons, my husband and me)! Happily great weather for that as well.
It seems like for some of her friends it's still a special adventure to be outside barefoot but in the end that's how they know her and how they celebrate her on her special day.
It's just a wonderful feeling to not only be parent to wonderful barefoot children but see how they are inspiring their friends as well!
Cheers and spring greetings to all!
