oooh don't you just love birthdays? Well we probably celebrate birthdays a lot differently than other people - not that exciting but meaningful and necessary. We don't do big parties, or tons of presents, there is not even wrapping paper. Our kids are different and react differently to those typical birthday celebrations. However we must find ways to celebrate the birth of our little blessings so we simply keep it low key. Yes they do get presents - a few, no more than five and they are not wrapped. I don't know why but wrapping paper seems to be a trigger and overwhelms our kiddos. We give presents right away and it is their day - they choose what they would like to do all day long. Sometimes it means
eating at McDonalds for three meals (yuck! LOL!) or it may mean a little shopping (baby girl), Chuck E Cheese (if it is a weekday) or go karts.
They choose cake, cupcakes or another dessert and what flavors. Of course baby girl always picks "pink" she does not care about the taste - she just want's it pink!
Our night owl likes things plain - always vanilla ice cream, white cake and vanilla frosting!
He also eats hamburgers plain meat and ketchup - thats all!
Boo is our wild card - you never know what he's going to want! LOL! This year it was marble cake(black and white) and white frosting!
Having three birthdays in one month is a lot of excitement in our house!
All of the papers and letters in these layouts are from Momenta - they have a Birthday Wishes pad and the cardstock is from the Earthtones pad. The bling is from ZVA Creative and I made the dots with Viva paint pens.
How do you celebrate birthdays?

Rita fabulous layouts! How fun to have 3 birthdays in the same month :)
I just love these gorgeous layouts, I cannot believe you have 3 b'days in one month, your layouts to celebrate are just divine, we celebrate pretty much the same way except we stay at home and perhaps have a play day, and we wrap presents, but I love your unwrapped way instead. Melxx
Your layouts are awesome, as usual. Very festive! :-) We've always let our kids pick their own birthday cake flavors too, I think that's their fav part of birthdays. Family and best friend type parties. They also get to choose the dinner menu. We've never done the whole big party thing. When my oldest dd was about 4 years old, we went to a party for a neighbor at Chuckie Cheese and it was SO overwhelming for her, she cried. (much the way "I" feel at CC! LOL) I knew then and there I'd never do it, plus it makes my head spin how much some people pay for such extravagant events! I'd rather spend the money on MY kid!
Happy Birthday to you sweet babies!!
You are such a good MOM!!
Lovely LO's you sure captured the moments.
