Birthday traditions are the best! The title of the blog is a little ditty that my family always sang for birthdays and we have carried on the tradition with our children. I love to hear my grandchildren sing the birthday song. Some of them are probably wondering why the rest of the world doesn't know the song? I can only answer that our family is extra special and it must be a secret code for "extra special".

Thanks to Neil, Maggie and Justin and their family, I had a wonderful birthday celebration. I was served a wonderful crepes breakfast in bed. It has been a very long time since I had little children hovering around waiting for little bites of a birthday breakfast. It brought back lots of happy memories. Gracie (7), confided to me that she mostly made the breakfast with only a little bit of help from Grandpa and her Mom. I enjoyed their shocked faces when I mentioned that little tidbit. I felt so spoiled all day long with lots of attention and calls from our kids and their families and my brothers and sisters. It all made me feel a lot younger than I just turned old. As one friend described it --$29.95 plus shipping and handling.
I'm so glad Gracie was there to do all the work! Maddie used to make similar comments when we'd come home and pay a babysitter She always argued that she should get paid, "since she pretty much did everything!"
ReplyDeleteI'm happy you got spoiled on your birthday! Love you.
