Birthday Love

In June we have three birthdays in our immediate family. So we have just survived all of those and have a break for a little while!  No, really...birthdays are fun!

The kids love bonking.  I love #6 Boy's tongue out and Dad's scrunch anticipating it.

Birthday's are so fun!  My kids love picking gifts from the dollar store for the birthday person.  They love wrapping them.  They also love bonking each other on the head with their gifts!  Yes, this is a tradition carried on from my childhood days.  The person giving the gift recites:

Heavy, heavy hang over
thy poor head.
What do you wish
with a bump on the head. 

Then they proceed to whack the birthday boy/girl on the head.  After which the birthday boy/girl has to wish something for the person who is giving the gift.    I love hearing what each child/parent wishes for the gift giver.  They come up with some really fun thoughtful things.  It is a way for the birthday person to think of others on their day but also be spoiled with gifts!
