{1} What is your favorite way to celebrate birthdays?
-usually at home with dinner and the cake design of choice. Birthdays here are all about the little ones. The girl has 'the best birthday ever' according to the kids because hers falls in August. A summer birthday and months after the March and April birthdays of the first 2. The girl gets fussy around the March birthdays, the little Leo in her roars as they get their spring presents. August get the beach though. Everyone celebrates the girl's birthday at the shore. Birthday cake in a hotel/motel room with prewrapped in the trunk presents and the girl gets to choose the activity for the day because it's her birthday at the beach.
{2} Which is more fun to celebrate? Celebrating yours or your loved ones?
Considering that my birthday is always overlooked, I'd have to say others'. I usually buy my own gift and celebrate with a 6 pack of wine coolers next to the grill.
{3} What is your dessert of choice for birthday celebrating?
Bakery bought strawberry shortcake, not supermarket bought. It has to have huge fresh strawberries. I buy that myself too.
{4} Tell us about your best birthday you've ever had.
Still waiting...Birthdays are a touchy subject with me. The closer it gets I wonder who and what will ruin my day. Strangers on Facebook send me cards, my family...nope. My birthday card from my mother last year was a guilt laden message about how she felt unappreciated and wasn't fond of the lack of attention shown to her. A simple happy birthday, red head would have sufficed.
{5} Share your favorite birthday song
Doesn't Stevie Wonder have one? Happy birthday to ya'
{6} Bonus Question: if you could pick any age to be again, how old would you be and why?
22, young dumb and full of_________!
And the one question that was not included was 'when is your birthday?'
Well, it's in July, the 6th. I'm a crabby cancer.

*edited* I will say that at work the girls make a fuss over me. We celebrate all the nurses' birthdays with a little party in the breakroom and have food and cake and a gift card. We sit and laugh and gab for an hour and make that birthday girl feel super! Jill 3/7/12
Your girl's birthday sounds wonderful, I must agree that she gets an awesome bday celebration. Mine have been similar, I'm a July 18th baby - as a kid, we'd usually end up visiting one of my relatives that lives on water. Sand, boating, swimming, topped off with BBQ & cake? Can't go wrong there.
ReplyDeleteHoping you get a wonderful birthday in your future. Everyone deserves one.
My girl's birthday is always my favorite too. More so than my own.
DeleteTY for dropping in:)
Strawberry shortcake is also so amazing!! Good pick! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a good day!
TY for visiting:) I'm hungry now with all the strawberry shortcake talk!
DeleteThe kids birthdays are my favorite too. I have three nephews and I love celebrating their birthdays.
ReplyDeleteKids have a way about partying up on their birthdays! Their enthusiasm tops any adult I swear.
DeleteI think you bring up an interesting point, when you were talking about the month of your daughters birthday...I think timing is everything for Birthdays. My neices birthday is in April and it's always right after tax time and we always have money to buy her the best gifts! LOL, In september with my second child we usually have no money and if your a christmas baby forget it! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so sad your birthday's haven't gone well in the past! I hope this year or next year is better for ya!
Haven't gone anywhere my birthdays...I always felt as though it was an obligation as opposed to a celebration. Like something other people have to do as opposed to want to do.
DeleteLMAO... love the answer to #6.. I love strawberry shortcake. Then again i love all dessert!
ReplyDeleteIf I could will myself there right now I would. Only if I could come back in size 4's.
