Birthday Balloons

Today, I received a birthday balloon. I took it home to Evylee. She was more than delighted, “My birthday balloon!,” she squealed! She took it with her everywhere -- downstairs, upstairs, she watched TV with it, even went outside with it.... sent it down the slide before her.... a gust of wind caught it... her mommy ran after it.... but it was off and away in an instant!

“I lost my birthday balloon,” she sniffed and curled up on the couch with a blanket and her broken heart.

Hang on tight to those birthday balloons! They’re here today and gone tomorrow, and then we have to wait an entire year for more!
