10-year-old Tulsa girl with Down syndrome receives surprise birthday 'parade'

...

On Wednesday afternoon, to celebrate her 10th birthday, Vivianna’s family came up with a special way to make up for some of what she’s recently lost.

Keeping in mind social distancing rules, they organized a surprise birthday “parade,” inviting friends and family to drive by their midtown Tulsa home and cheer Vivianna from their cars.

...

Vivianna, wearing a pink tutu with a pink bow in her hair, soaked up the attention, greeting each passing guest with a wave of her pink pom-poms.

The Smiths kept a good 10 to 15 feet between their family and the cars. The social distancing, they said, is especially necessary for Vivianna, whose health issues include a heart condition.
