Happily Ever Laughter Parties

Dear Finn & Hazel,
My daughter Lacie, aka Laecee (your Mommy) has her own business called "Happily Ever Laughter Parties", based in Santa Cruz, CA.
She started out working for another company driving all over the San Francisco bay area performing at birthday parties, with Disney costumes in the trunk of her car.

Lacie Roth as "Snow White" ~  Sept. 7, 2003

After she left that company she started out by herself driving all over the San Francisco bay area performing at birthday parties, with her own homemade costumes in the trunk of her car. Her fairy name is "Fae Diddle Diddle". (aka Fae Diddle Gershenson) Eventually she realized that she couldn't handle all the parties alone, so slowly she started adding other "faeries" to her fairy business. (also more and more characters & costumes) After some time there was so much work, that she needed an office. So, she got one in downtown Santa Cruz on Cedar St., and has "SecreFaeries" helping here there.
I'm SO PROUD of her, and how successful her business has become. As of this date she has 42 faeries working for her all over the state of California! Once a year she takes them on a faerie retreat.

This year it was an especially wonderful & magical retreat. They had theme nights, and my favorite was the Marie Antoinette theme.
Your Daddy was there too!
Here is a photo collage I made of them from that special night amongst the beautiful redwoods in Corralitos, CA. The bottom photo is my all time favorite one of my daughter from that night.
Love Always,
~Your Gramma Lynn
P.S. Today my Mom & Dad have been married 59 years. And your parents had their 4 year anniversary during the retreat.

The expression on Lacie's face looks like she did when she was just a girl.

Happy FIRST Birthday to my Granddaughter, Hazel Gershenson!

To my Granddaughter, Hazel Inna Gershenson,
I hope you have a wonderful FIRST birthday, and when you blow out that candle all your wishes come true.

  "I love you to the moon and back my sweet Hazel. It just breaks my heart that I'm not there with you on your big day. But, I'll be with you in spirit..."

Here is a pic of your Aunt Rebecca on her first birthday, and Lacie (your Mommy) is "helping" her blow out her candle. I'm holding Rebecca, to keep her steady.

The photo below was taken 30 years ago on Thanksgiving 1984 at your Great Grandfather Arvid D. Roth's home in Campbell, CA
(better known as Whitey)
I made the "twin" dresses that your Mommy (Lacie) and I are wearing, and thought it was cute to wear matching "Mother-Daughter" outfits :-)
Her hair looks very much like yours does...now that your hair has been getting lighter. She was 14 months old in this picture, only 2 months older than you are now.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Love & Kisses,
