Sparkle Birthday with free printable poster

This is a picture of New Year’s Eve. No, that’s her name. She was born on New Year’s Day, her name is Eve, and I had the opportunity to celebrate her birthday with her this year. It was a bright and sparkly event–as a bubbly 5-year-old girl’s birthday should be. I was happy to help […]
