Marlo's birthday included her very own favorite sugar coated cearl box she gets once a year on her birthday, following the tradition of her mom, uncle and aunt's youth.
She got ballet lessons paid for by Papa John and Grandad George. I wrapped three coupons in round boxes for tights, a leotard and slippers. I used three odd tassels with gold rope for fillers. She thought these very odd but immediately she and Sandra made custumes of them and gave us an inproumpt dance routine.
