Monday Memories: Did I ever tell you About My Favorite Birthday Traditions? Since it's my birthday - and it's my blog, I figured I would share my favorite birthday traditions with all of you... 1. The Cake Plate - Grambug has a beautiful cake plate - simple clear glass with little balls of glass around the edge - She always put our cakes on that plate (even if they were store bought). Just thinking about that cake plate makes me smile. 2. Chocolate Cake - No explanation needed... Yummmmy! 3. The Song - My family has a funny tradition - you have to call whoever is having the birthday and sing them the "Happy Birthday" song. The object is to be first but not to wake them up too early, because it is their birthday.... 4. The dinner - the birthday person can request whatever they want for dinner (within reason) even if we just had the same thing last night. 5. The spouse or children of the birthday person says "Happy Birthday Mrs. Bird!" first thing in the morning. This goes way back to the Yellow Bird song we used to sing to the children (and Auntie LOL!!) when they were babies!! If you want the words to the Yellow Bird song, email me!! I'm happy to share... 6. Presents - we don't make a big deal - they come in dribs and drabs (The Grandbugs' present to me arrived on Thursday!!) - it makes the birthday last a loooong time. :-) LadyBug Click here for the Monday Memories Code, Blogroll, Graphics, & Other Information View More Monday Memories Participants Trackbacks, pings, and comment links are accepted and encouraged!
