Having your birthday on Christmas would be the pits. Richard’s Birthday comes in second
place for the crumbiest day to have your birthday, New Year’s Day. Everyone is off work, which you think
would be awesome. Not awesome. It is too close to Christmas so you
don’t need anything else as far as gifts go and basically everyone forgets it is
your birthday because they are trying to recover from the night before. I feel bad every year when Rich’s B-Day
comes and goes like a regular old day.
Trust me, I have tried to make it special and it never pans out. This year I decided it would be a fun
tradition to celebrate big when his half birthday rolls around (July 1). Unfortunately we aren’t going to be
together at that time therefore I chose a random day that worked best for him
and I to celebrate. March 29. That day happened to be the last school
exam he will ever take!! Two birds
with one stone. I got him some fun
little cheap things he needed and re-wrapped his Ipad that he got on his actual
b-day. He has been talking about
trying Shepherd’s Pie for a very long time. I have been avoiding it because this dish seems like a bunch
of crap thrown into a casserole dish.
I was pretty spot on with the description and he loved it. I also
attempted to make these little cakes (http://ohhappyday.com/2012/02/mini-cakes-diy/).
It was a total fail. Two of
them overflowed in the oven, causing A LOT of smoke and our fire alarm to go
off. One made it through the baking stage and came out resembling a slouchy hard piece of fudge. He tried to make me feel
better by taking a bite. That made
me even more mortified, afraid he was going to crack a tooth or something. We ended up going out for dessert. Thank you McDonald's chocolate dipped cones. I think I will continue with this
tradition and hope it makes his Birthday a little more special than it has been
in the past. Happy Faux Birthday
to my hubby!
Where's Henley? Wrapping paper is the ultimate baby gift.
He loves it when I take a picture of just him :)
