Fridays are always exciting but this one in particular was extra fun. It was PJ day at school which in itself is rather unique but on top of that, it was Mrs. Gossage's birthday. We'd been planning a surprise celebration since before Thanksgiving and so far it seemed to be working beautifully. After a few months of preparing, the plan was to meet in the room during lunch and then surprise her with balloons, a sweet treat and a basket full of her "favorite things" which the class had been secretly sending my way. It was also Stephen's birthday. Of course we didn't want the teacher's surprise to overshadow his special day and planned a few extra things for him as well. It was a fun Friday the Gorillas would never forget and a wonderful distraction from the horrifying news earlier that day.

Surprise! I think we pulled it off!
The 2 birthday kids, Mrs. Gossage and Stephen. Sophia and her classmates guessed she was turning 25 while Stephen was on his way to 6.
Happy Birthday Mrs. Gossage and Stephen. Thanks for sharing your special day with us!
