We brought her orange cupcakes (her favorite color) at the bus stop so she could hand them out to her friends.
Her friends made her a huge banner/poster that I hung up in her room while she was gone. It was full of fun memories and jokes that they share.
Per her request, we went to Golden Corral that night for dinner. She refused to let me have the waiters sing to her though. Then we came home and opened presents.
