Ok, I am just going to breeze right over the fact that I haven’t blogged since December! I’ll get right to the point as if I’ve been here all along! My first “little” baby is about to turn one in a couple of weeks and that has had my mind spinning about what special traditions I want our family to have as we celebrate every year of our childrens’ lives. I’m sure as the years fly by some traditions will essentially evolve on their own as each of our kids (yes, I hope to have more, Lord willing) chooses their favorite cake for me to make year after year or a special family dinner is served in honor of that child. But, I am trying to think beyond the more obvious ways we can celebrate a birthday in hopes of establishing something a little more unique.
I know that many of you have posted, at least at some point about various traditions and have probably touched upon this, so I’m beckoning your help! I have contemplated writing letters to Will as he approaches each birthday and then saving them for a special birthday to come. But although I really like this idea, I worry that it may be a daunting task to stay on top of as more children enter the picture and the years pass begin to pass.
SO…what special and unique traditions do you remember from growing up and what kinds of things do you do know with your kids? Who knows, this may be compiled already on an existing blog out there. If so….lead me there!
