Birthday Month Celebration

Birthday_edited-1 

Warm greetings sweet friends! The month of February is turning out to be one of the busiest months for me. Just as I recover from the hectic holidays, I get a small breather just before I have to start planning both my childrens birthdays in the month of February. First Grant's… than mine…than Miss Vivian's. All are back to back! Which makes it for a month long celebration and a hurting on my husbands wallet as he likes to tell it! hee! hee!

For Grant's 4th birthday this year we opted to take him for a long weekend to Disney instead of a traditional birthday party. Before we left for our trip his preschool had a little "Celebration of Life" in his honor. All the children gather and sit in a circle. Grant than holds a small globe and walks all around the circle and each circle represents a year of his life.
