Celebrating Birthdays

I love birthdays - celebrating life - Life Lived and Future hope of a new year.  In my home your birthday is YOUR day  - we will do whatever you want within reason.  Dinner out or making your favorite dinner in.  Make your cake or buy a special order Carvel with extra crunchies.  Play at the park or take you to see a play.  Normally it turns into a marathon day - Donuts - park - McDonald's Play place - Miniature Golf - Chuck E Cheese - Home for Gifts and cake.  I write a letter to each child on their birthday that I hope to give them when they turn 18 or get married.. we will see what feels right.  Friends are invited to our marathon birthday days or a backyard play day/barbecue.  I want my children to know they are blessings, we celebrate the blessing their life is.
