{birthday breakfast}

"To us, family means putting your arms around
each other and being there." 
~Barbara Bush
 
There are 87 bazillion things that I love about my family...one of many, is that we. do. birthdays. BIG. It's all my sweet Mama. She has always done birthdays big. And I stand right behind her. I'm not sure we ever truly think about it enough to realize WHAT it is we are celebrating when we celebrate a birthday. We are literally celebrating the BIRTH of someone we love. We are celebrating that they are ALIVE. Seriously? That IS HUGE...and SHOULD be celebrated HUGE! And although I would much rather be on the giving end of the hugeness, I have to admit, that having your birthday drag out for weeks is fun. :-) RIVERDANCE with Mom and Dad last week, a SISTERS BREAKFAST with many of my awesome sisters this morning (a few missing...and were missed)...and a family birthday party coming up on Monday. What a fun way to start the day today, with my FAVORITE breakfast (at Mimi's) with my sisters (and my cousin Suz, who is as good as a dear sister to me), my Mama and my cute niece Charly. OOOOOH...how I love us..and LOVE LOVE LOVE this picture of us. So love these women. What an awesome day! (Thanks Jillsie, for arranging the breakfast for me...and for treating me. Sure love you!!!)

I tell ya'....every day is a party at YOUR house. lol. Love all your family traditions. I am kind of like your mom though...birthdays are always done in a non-sneaking -by- the- way -side- way here too. HA ha.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY Heather! Have a great time with your family on Monday.
