We love to celebrate here in The Little House. We celebrate big events like birthdays, anniversaries and we celebrate little things like helping your sister pick up her room, not sneaking your DS out past bedtime. So this year we decided to change things up a little and bought Six Flags Season Passes instead of throwing each of our 5 littles a birthday party. They love our season passes, as do we. However with our first birthday fast approaching (our son will be 13 in a few days!!!!) we decided we needed a "small celebration" that will stay with them and fill up their "love tanks".
So our birthday dish set and new tradition was created last week. I painted a dinner plate, cup and ice cream dish in a cupcake theme in gender neutral colors, and a friend is making a matching placemat. The morning of each child's birthday they will enter the dining room to see their place set with our special birthday dishes and a special breakfast made just for them, complete with candles and surrounded by small, significant gifts, wrapped and placed around their table space. Thank you pinterest for the great ideas that will hopefully help our littles feel loved and cherished on their special day!
