Kevin's mother was visiting and he was miserably sick for K's birthday so it was a hard day on us all, I admit I was stressed beyond my limits but K still loved her day and it all somehow worked out.
Here's her birthday in pictures:
Apples are a huge theme for her birthday celebration every year (September has always been 'apple month' to us), as you will see...
Birthday preparations (We made some yummy sugar free delights: apple doughnuts, apple cider, apple cookies and apple cake)

So much apple goodness in this post! It sounds like a very happy birthday was had. Hooray for five!
I love preparing and setting up the surprise birthday table for the birthday child. My children love it so much. Yours is so precious and sure little K just loved it. Thank you for sharing even if it was late.

very sweet- how wonderful to have an apple theme for your daughter's September birthday!
You really know how to make a celebration beautiful.
... and happy day of birth to you, mama! Ever inspiring and such a creative force in my Waldorf-ing. I love seeing that birthday crown come out :)
that looked like a birthday filled with warmth and care.
Beautiful!!
Stunning pictures x
I was so happy to see this post.. was wondering how to ask for a glimpse of K's special day! It looks like such a special happy celebration! x
Just catching up here, Nicole! Love the photos and the projects you have been working on. What a sweet birthday and girl you have! Happy belated!
You can email me with an answer if you like, but I am wondering if the Waldorf school K is in is a private school or charter? Is it costly? I am sure you know the whole Waldorf status around here from Marina, but there is a group trying to get a Waldorf-esque charter up and running (with great difficulty) and I would love to talk with anyone in the know of how to do this!

Just wondering...could you please tell me where to get a rainbow bridge story and where to purchase the small baskets in the apple tree lantern picture? thanks and any help appreciated...maria
A beautiful day, precious pictures! love, Beth
Every time i try to view your new post it says it can't be found :(
Mine recently had their 'rainbow bridge' story at preschool too for their fourth birthday... such loveliness. I just posted photographs - though frankly they're all from the children playing outside, not from inside the school!
thank you for sharing, it looks like a breautiful birthday celebration for your 5 year old!
I really love that hanging apple tree mobile with the bird in the background. Any ideas of where to get that? I would love to get that for my soon to be baby. Thanks!
Thank you!
The apple tree mobile is made by Kinderkram. I bought it from a friend but if you google it, it should come up. HTH!
Maria - I was tolf the Rainbow Bridge story but an old teacher a few years back and I just use that.
I believe I found the baskets at a thrift store. HTH!
Kelsey - I was having issues with blogger that day. I cancelled it. Sorry for the confusion!
