I know Chris doesn't read my blog so I'm safe in posting this. Every year since Drew was born 5 years ago I've dressed her in a Happy Birthday, Daddy t-shirt, taken her picture, and then framed it. It's been Chris's main gift every year. In 2006 I added William to the mix and Drew wore the Happy Birthday shirt and William wore the Daddy shirt. Then last year I added Lauren to the mix and now William wears the Happy shirt, Drew wears the Birthday shirt, and Lauren wears the Daddy shirt. And this is one of the many reasons why I will not have another child. #4 would have to wear just a shirt with a period on it or something and that would just be wrong.
Chris's birthday is on Easter this year so the Easter Bunny will leave his annual framed picture in his basket.
Rather than add all the pictures from previous years I figured these two would suffice to give you an idea of what I'm talking about.

Do you have any birthday traditions?
I mope. Does that count?
ReplyDeleteSo super cute!
ReplyDeleteThat first picture is priceless.
ReplyDeleteAs for traditions ... my husband INSISTS on going to Olive Garden for his every year. I plan on always letting the boys pick what they want for dinner on theirs, which could make for some interesting Christmas dinners as that's The Lad's birthday.
Nope. No traditions. We're a fairly tradition-less family. I worry that that will be disappointing some day.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures.
