This month we are sharing our How I Spend My Birthday!
In full honesty my birthday isn't that big of a deal. Yes I want to be celebrated but I don't make a big deal out of it. Yes I want to go to Starbucks and get my free triventi drink (the largest size they have). Yes we usually do cake and dinner. No we are not inviting everyone over to celebrate or have a party. Yes I would love to make a date night out of it, or even take my kids with us out to dinner which doesn't happen very often.
Last year Brian took a red eye home from a work trip on my birthday and our friends brought over dinner and cake so I didn't have to cook. The year before that my father in laws burial was that day. With Brian's family we usually get together for birthdays except mine because it is in the summer and my kids birthdays are two weeks later, July 4th is the following week, and life is just busy.
I also grew up ALWAYS sharing my birthday with my sister who is three years and two days older. So for me birthdays are not too special because it was never just a day to really celebrate me. I will go all out for my kids birthdays and make sure we celebrate Anna and Austin separately (and together) because they are three days shy of four years apart.
Now this year I turn 40 and wouldn't mind to have a bigger get together with friends, but the weekend of my birthday half my friends are out of state. Instead we are going to Disney the end of July to celebrate.
What do you do for your birthday?
Thank you for stopping by!!!!! If you are new here,
Feel free to follow along.
XOXO
I always have to get my Starbucks. Disney for your birthday sounds perfect to me!
ReplyDeleteDisney is a great idea for a big birthday celebration! Growing up my parties were always so small since all my friends were off on family vacations (my birthday is right around the 4th of July) but I definitely like to make a little celebration out of it but it's much easier to do now that my kids are older.
ReplyDeleteA Disney birthday celebration sounds amazing! We were there for my son's birthday a few years ago, and he loved wearing the birthday button.
