Mom and Dad’s Birthdays
Dave and I don’t make a big fuss over our November birthdays. We grab a carvel cake, order some dinner from a local restaurant and we’re happy. That said, if the kids want to do balloons and cards or make a little gift, we’re good with that too.
Mikey helped pick up take-out for my big day and the boys wrote some cards for Dave’s birthday.
We each felt loved and Mikey got to share the fun with his pals at school through the magic of the journal.
Note:
We celebrated our birthdays separately on the actual days, but as always, we keep those dates out of the blog for privacy purposes. Anyway, you get the idea. Wink.
