We have a lot of birthdays to celebrate in the summer-- beginning right around Memorial Day, we have birthdays on May 28, July 5, July 8, July 13, July 30, and August 11.
Basically, if you have a birthday on one of these days, we say, "We love you so much! Happy birthday! We'll schedule in a time to celebrate! Hang tight... it might be a few days till we can get everybody together."
We just have people going so many different places and camps and workshops and such. Sometimes our celebrations are fancy and sometimes they are simpler.
Greta turned one and she loved the attention of all of us singing to her after a Bacon Wednesday lunch.
I like to tell Greta she's the best thing that ever happened to our family! We absolutely adore her. She is so
happy! She dug right into her cake and made a delightful mess. Not to compare kids, but Peter looked at me like I was poisoning him when I tried to get him to taste frosting. This was slightly more rewarding!
I guess it just took Pete a couple years to catch on to how fun it could be to just dig into a cake! He saw what Greta was doing and he joined in!
I figured if you're going to have a big mess to clean up with one child, the mess for two kids wouldn't be much worse. Besides, Peter did miss his opportunity the first time around.
I can't imagine not having her in our family. She softens us. She brightens our days.
Good stuff!
