Alone time
After getting Celena tucked into bed, her parents smiled as they reminisced about the delightful evening.
"She had such a wonderful time tonight, didn't she?" her mother said with a warm smile. "The way her face lit up when she was dancing and playing games. These are memories."
Her father chuckled. "I thought for sure she was going to vibrate right out of her shoes with how excited she was! Though I can't say I blame her - those games and activities we planned really were a hit."
"We'll have to do something like this again next year," her mother mused. "You know, maybe turn it into a little tradition - a celebration eve the night before her actual birthday."
"A birth-eve celebration?" Her father grinned. "I love it. Celena would get such a kick out of having her very own eve tradition like that."
