We always have such a great time on birthdays. We usually start the day by giving the birthday kid balloons and reading Psalm 139:13-18,23-24 to them. We let the birthday kid pick the place that they would like to spend their day, then we go there. They also get to pick the design of their cake and what they would like to eat for dinner. When dinner is finished and right before the cake, we sit around the table and each person has to tell something that they love about the birthday person. It is a lovely way to end the day:-).
Zoe' and Josiah have their birthdays only a day apart, the 10th and 11th, so theirs is always a bit tricky and I never, ever feel like I have it all together:-). I am usually last minute in making their cake(one year, I made two... notice I only said ONE year:-) and they generally tell me what they would like for dinner and where they would like to go, the day of. So, I always feel like it is not quite fancy enough. Yet, they still enjoy everything.
BTW, we do not request that they do their birthdays together... they want to, they say they like it better that way:-). I guess it makes it more special to them...
So, this birthday they chose to go to Huber Farm. Oh man, was it fun!!
Plenty of pumpkins, apples, tractor rides, apple cider smells, walking, and MUD... now if that doesn't make for a great day, I don't know what will!!!
Will post more photos of the trip to Huber's... later.
