well this is nothing big and really just a big deal to me but it is a tradition...

My mom for as long as I can remember has snuck into my room and snuggled in my bed and sung the happy birthday song to wake me up..I have been married for 14 yrs and she no longer sneaks in my room..I mean come on that would be weird..haha but she calls me and makes sure she is the first to wish me happy birthday (she still sings me the whole song)..

it is not big and may seem small to others but it always/and still does makes me feel so special and loved!!

We don't really have any yet. I want to try to use the "special day" plate but haven't done a good job at it yet.

When I was growing up, we always got to pick a place to eat dinner. I still do that to this day. =)

Yes, we have a special day plate too that the birthday person gets to use. They also choose the menu for a main meal that day and they don't have to do any chores - make their bed or do dishes!

OMG...I LOVE that.  Super sweet.

We do too which is why our entire family was at iHop yesterday.  iHop is 5 year old heaven.

We keep birthday's pretty small, but have added a tradition that the kids love.  I read about it in a magazine and thought we'd try it.  We all sit in a circle around the birthday person and take turns sharing something we like about that person.  It's very interesting what is said!!

Oh I missed this!!! I hope the birthday was wonderful!! Happy birthday to the birthday boy! And happy anniversary of his birth- to his mama:)

Thanks girl!  We have been so busy celebrating in real life I haven't even had time to post about his birthday...good problem.
