Happy birthday to me! I am officially in my late twenties...nearing the hill. Growing up in my family, birthdays were a HUGE deal. We didn't just have birth-DAYS..we had birth-WEEK or sometimes even birth-MONTHS. As I've grown up, become a mom and moved away, my family still does a great job of celebrating with me. My favorites things about birthdays:
Ben makes me waffles or pancakes (and added a side of beautiful flowers this year!)
I get to spend the day with Reagan...okay that's everyday, but I just LOVE her!
My mom is always the first to call me early in the morning and sing me Happy Birthday
My Mimi & Papa usually aren't far behind her and also serenade me to Happy Birthday
My Grandmother usually calls after that...she doesn't sing though :)
My dad always makes up birthday jingles appropriate for whoever's birthday it is. Mine this year went:
Happy Happy Birthday!
Today's a special day!
Happy Happy Birthday!
Even though you're far away! Hey!
I love checking the mail during my birthday week and finding cards in the mail everyday. It is WAY better than getting the daily bills!
Probably cheesy, but I also love hearing my phone ding all day as I get new facebook birthday wishes.
Top this off with all of the phone calls from my sister, in-laws, sis in-laws and friends, and I had another happy birthday. Here's to, and many more....
