| My friend makes the best cakes! |
My kids simply adore birthdays, both their own and someone else’s. They don’t understand why adults don’t throw parties for themselves! Or why most adults we know only want cards for their birthdays and not gifts. (The nerve!)
To my boys, giving a gift for someone’s birthday shows that person they are loved, and not giving a gift, in their eyes, withholds a little love from them.

| And the cutest cupcakes (fishing bob rings) |
One of Cutie Pie’s good buddies just turned 7 and the invitation for his party said ‘no gifts’. I can completely understand why…I mean, we just celebrated Christmas with gifts, he just had a family party with gifts…his house is probably bursting at the seams with new toys.
We happen to know this little guy is waaaaaay into fishing, so we bought him a little something related to his interest, because Cutie Pie really, really wanted to bring a gift (or make a cake and bring it to him…I thought this was the better choice!) Hopefully his parents won’t mind since it isn’t a toy. (I waited to post this so I could include a picture of the birthday cake…little buddy’s mom makes the most awesome cakes! And they didn’t mind the little gift – phew!)
I love birthdays, and the child-like excitement that comes with them, whether it’s my birthday, and whether they involve presents or not!
And I know my brother won’t read this, maybe his friends will, but it’s his birthday and he doesn’t live anywhere near us for me to give him a gift…Happy Birthday, Craig!
