FAVORITE FRIDAYS


This is Mackenzie's birthday candle. We've now burned it twice and we have 19 more years to go!

This candle made my list because my brother had one when we were growing up. But, I did not. Another one of "those" things. Mom, I'm just teasing. But seriously I didn't have one and I was always very envious of my brother's. For one thing he was older so there was the obvious idolizing factor. Then in my young eyes he has this SUPER COOL Birthday candle that was just for him and him only. Ohhhh, was I jealous!

I remember always thinking that someday my kids would have one of those candles. And that is just what happened. My nephew Tim and his wife Amanda knew I was looking for one and bought one for Mackenzie and I just love it! Now I just wonder if she'll appreciate the tradition as much as I do. Probably not but sometimes it can be a little about Mom.

Anyone else have any birthday traditions?

This will be a fun tradition for Mackenzie! The only tradition I can think of is we would go out to eat and the birthday person always got to pick the resteraunt.
