august/september birthdays


while the summer is drawing to an end, "birthday season" is revving up around here. within 2 weeks we have 3 birthdays here in texas: alex on august 31st, shari on september 7th and my mom on september 9th (after that come october and november birthdays, totaling 5 on my side of the family alone!). our niece madeline sue also celebrated her 3rd birthday on september 7th and enjoyed it with a party in ohio.
for alex, shari and mom's birthdays (their 12th, 35th and 54th, respectively) we celebrated with a meal of croissant sandwiches and fixin's and each birthday honoree's dessert of choice. for the first time in a while, we actually celebrated with a birthday lunch instead of dinner and enjoyed the evening watching the cowboys game (not so enjoyable), talking and relaxing before the older kids all had to head home for early bedtimes before school. just another sign that our family is growing up all the time!
happy birthday to all the special august and september birthdays!
