His birthday is the 11th of the month and mine is the 23rd so our "parties" were always together.<BR/><BR/>We always got to go out to eat to wherever restaurant we wanted on the actual date of our birthday (my brothers still do since they live at home). Now, my parents send me money for me and a friend to go out to dinner on my birthday. Then, we always went to our grandparent's house to celebrate with the whole family sometime in between our two birthdays. The busier we get the harder it is for all of them to get down to my grandparent's house for birthday dinners, but I know they still try.<BR/><BR/>Birthdays for me were never a huge deal until I got to college. Now I enjoy taking that day to celebrate myself and to celebrate all the great things about my life! It's nice to have that annual celebration of self- especially because in September the leaves are usually changing colors and it's getting cooler outside.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09222466425842041635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442005414487201262.post-32997832623170151362009-03-06T11:00:00.000-06:002009-03-06T11:00:00.000-06:00I've never been huge on birthdays...in my family i...I've never been huge on birthdays...in my family it was always a day to spend with your family, especially Grandparents.<BR/>I remember heading to my Grandparents house each year for dinner, cake and ice cream.<BR/><BR/>Even when I was an adult I headed home to have cake and ice cream with my Grandma. My 24th birthday was the last I got to spend with her and I took a slice of cake to the hospital to eat with her.<BR/><BR/>So for me birthdays are always a reminder of the awesome memories I got to make with my Grandma.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442005414487201262.post-217749134822199072009-03-06T10:29:00.000-06:002009-03-06T10:29:00.000-06:00My birthday happens to fall around the same time a...My birthday happens to fall around the same time as my favorite art fair in Louisville (St. James), in early October. Louisville is always beautiful. The air is crisp, the leaves are turning colors, and people are excited for fall. Because at Bellarmine, you are permitted to take off your birthday, Richard would also take off and we'd spend the morning wandering the fair. A couple of years ago we saw a piece of art we loved and Richard went back and bought it for me as a gift. Now it hangs above our fire place mantle.<BR/><BR/>Fond, fond memories.Claudia @ Highlowahahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18156269935738164157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442005414487201262.post-5501643662499360522009-03-06T10:28:00.000-06:002009-03-06T10:28:00.000-06:00Happy birthday, Jack.

Treye will either cook for me or take me out. I try to get home around my birthday to celebrate with my parents.

I try to do it but never seem to be able to execute. I think I try to get too elaborate and become overwelmed...<BR/><BR/>Last year, the shark party didn't happen but I have a large paper mache shark head, a huge fin and lots of fish, sharks and other decorations. A lot that still needs to be painted. It is on the agenda for this summer but not as a brithday party just a party. We'll see!<BR/><BR/>Drew's birthday is on Halloween and JB's Birthday is on Thanksgiving this year. Halloween is on a Saturday this year. It's just a busy time of year and for the past couple we haven't had parties. I need to get it together though. :)Cheryl Houstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04714034822340589132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442005414487201262.post-81736331289828269642009-03-06T08:48:00.000-06:002009-03-06T08:48:00.000-06:00Happy Birthday Jack!As a fellow 2 yr old (for a an...Happy Birthday Jack!<BR/>As a fellow 2 yr old (for a another couple of months) 2 is GREAT! No more diapers, being able to tease and annoy Matthew (your brother Matthew too) and a trip to the ER. Too bad I can't come to your party. I love Go Dog Go. I have it memorized. Instead, I'll have some cake for you<BR/>All the best on your birthday. <BR/>PS - your present got mailed today - mom's been a little behind. <BR/>And, good luck Beeny family with a 2 year old in the house.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442005414487201262.post-28924810892532723162009-03-06T06:15:00.000-06:002009-03-06T06:15:00.000-06:00We start with the birth story the night before, a ...We start with the birth story the night before, a tradition from when I was a kid and would pester my mom. You choose breakfast and dinner. I try special notes in lunch box. Birthday #1 is a big, home affair. Birthdays 2-4 small family type things. Once in school it grows a bit until you are 10, then smaller more manageable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
