My best birthday memory? For the most part, my birthdays haven't been all that wonderful. I mean, it was a major bonus that I never had to attend school on my birthday since it's in August, but I'm not a huge fan of birthdays. If I have to pick a favorite birthday though, it would definitely be my 33rd birthday in 2007. I had both of my boys with me, which in and of itself is the best birthday gift for me, and I made plans with my good friends M & J and their boys, R & R (the boys are the same age as my D---so they're all 6 right now). So the whole crew, along with my mother, trekked over to Henry Vilas Zoo (Dude, it's free...if you're ever in Madison: GO!) to check out the animals and just hang out. We had a picnic at the park next to the zoo where the boys got to run and play for a long time and I got to just change and hang with my girls.
The festivities continued on when J & her R came over to my mom's hotel with us to swim in the pool. J, D, & R had a blast! We had dinner at my house, and a great cake from Cold Stone.
All in all, it was a great day. There was no real birthday "pressure," just fun. I'd love to repeat that every year.
Oh, one other cool birthday thing for me: my MIL believes that you should celebrate your birthday for an entire month. She sends me little things for each day of the month. It's too much fun!!
