First they made puppets, then they divided up into teams and showed their talentsSmileIt was lots of fun!! Aubrey thinks that she hit the jackpot with all her gifts:) We had pizza for supper and the cake that I made on Wednesday. Today was super warm, like, 60, tomorrow is going to be  in the 70’s.
