'Tis the Season

'Tis the Season

WOW!

November through February is our Birthday Season.  9 out of 13 of our family members have birthdays during this time.  It's craziness!!  It's during one of the busiest and honestly the least affluent seasons of the year. 

 With all the chaos of the season we have certain traditions that help our children feel loved and special.  On our birthdays the birthday person does not have to work.  (The kids looooove this one.)  :) 

We turn out the lights as we carry the candle lit cakes to the birthday boy or girl. There is an extra candle so they have "one to grow on". (This is my personal favorite tradition)  

 The birthday person gets to choose their birthday dinner and can be first in line to get their food.  (If we slack on this one we hear about it for the next month.)

We started a new tradition this year and that is to share something about the birthday person that is special or that we appreciate. 

Wahoooo!!! 

This face makes all the chaos of the birthday season worth it!!!
