Friday's Top Five...Birthday Edition!

In honor of Marah turning 7 years old today, I'm posting the top five ways we like to celebrate at our house.  Here goes:

5.  One of the greatest things about having a birthday during the school year when I was a kid was that you got to bring treats to school.  Today was no exception.  Marah had the Reese's Peanut Butter cups packed up and ready to go this morning.  *A girl after my own heart...peanut butter and chocolate!*



4.  On your birthday, you get to have a special breakfast.  Today's breakfast menu was purple pancakes with sprinkles and lots of syrup. 

3.  You absolutely must have presents on your birthday! 

2.  Of course there has to be a cake involved!  (Candles and singing, too!)

1.  And the best way we like to celebrate a birthday is by wearing new jammies to bed! 

We've done other things to celebrate thru the years such as getting to pick out what's for supper (or where we go for supper), maybe a special thing to do or place to go, and a bunch of balloons may show up in your bedroom on your special day.  My Dad and I still annoy each other by trying to see if one can wake the other up on their birthday with a bright and early phone call accompanied by a "special tune".

They Say It's Your Birthday

  It's always fun to spoil the birthday person no matter what you do!  Hope there are cake and candles in your near future, too!
