Shel Silverstein's Birthday... with Friends

September 25th is Shel Silverstein's Birthday.  Shel Silverstein wrote the book, The Giving Tree.  In it, a tree does things for a boy throughout his life.  One of the things is giving the boy apples. 
We got together with friends for dinner.  We had apples in our jello salad and apples dipped in caramel for dessert.  Yummm.

It was fun to get together with these friends.  I love how easily our kids play together- it's that instant friend thing.

And now that this quick blog post about how we celebrated Shel Silverstein's birthday is over, I'm going to read The Giving Tree to my kids before bed.
