The Recap!

April 6th
The Z tradition for birthdays is the birthday child starts their day by waking up to the rest of us singing Happy Birthday with a candle.

Maggie waking up with a big smile to our magnificent singing.

We went to church, came home and got ready for the big party! Papa, Nana and Gma Great came up for the afternoon, dinner and celebration. Another tradition for us is the child gets to pick their favorite dinner and dessert. Maggie chose Spaghetti Chicken for dinner and Rocky Road for dessert. (great choice Mags!) We also go around the table telling the birthday child what we appreciate about that person. They also get the Special Birthday plate.

Gma Great, Caleb and Hudson having a good time

Dani got book time with Papa

The rest of the children got book time with Nana

The Dessert

(We have given up the birthday cake (in most cases) b/c we have so many birthdays in a row in the spring that we tire of it quickly. So, we have gotten creative.)

Happy Birthday Maggie!
