So it seems that as an adult birthdays just don't have that luster. Case in point my dad is having a birthday today and last night my mom says "I can't think of what to get him he doesn't seem to want or need anything." I am the same way. Unless I write down a list of things that I have been wanting but won't buy for myself I often time say "I don't want anything." I think the bigger you get the more little things matter. Denali called Bobo and asked him what kind of cake he wanted so we are going to bake a yummy chocolate cake (thanks to Jess and Marg for the recipes). I think we might go listen to some live music and just relax. What a great way to end a year and begin another. Just relaxing with family. This weekend we went out on the boat with all 4 of us kids and the grandkids. It was really nice. We've been eating outside on the deck taking turns cooking dinner for the family. Duff started "birthday week" when we got married. I think out of the need to cover up not having what he wanted to give me on the actual day. :) I love the idea that your birthday week is a week of celebration so as to include a weekend and a few days around the actual day to reflect, receive and relax. Parties, cakes, drinks, princess treatment are all great bonuses. So Dad, treat yourself like a princess, throw back a margarita and eat vegan chocolate cake until your stomach aches.
