Yesterday Brynn dropped by after school. I was sitting at the computer working on something...(or maybe looking at Pinterest) she plops down on the couch and announces:
"It's almost my birthday."
I saw her at school today. I gave her a quick hug and she says to me:
"My birthday is a week from today!"
We all know how much Brynn loves her birthday- it begins as soon as the calendar changes to January!
But after thinking about it...
I think you all love your birthdays.
Birthdays were a pretty major deal around this house.
Both dad and I wanted it to be a big day for the birthday child.
- A birthday breakfast complete with birthday presents (sometimes old batteries or shoes were wrapped), always a birthday book, usually a birthday party (at least until you turned 12). The party was complete with cupcakes (sometimes a real cake?) a theme and the old video camera making its funny noises
and struggling to stay focused.
I love birthdays. I love parties. I love getting together with the people I love and
celebrating
the day you were born.
Nothing better than that!
Love,
Mom
