We never had winter birthdays with my kids. They were all born between August and November. Now that our family has grown we have lots of birthdays year round. Coleman turned 1 in January. We drove up for the day and got to see Casey's kids as well.
Maddi celebrated her 8th birthday at our house this year. We had a nice lasagna dinner that Melanie made. Then in February we came up to see her baptized. How are my grandbabies getting so big? Sami turned 11 on Valentine's Day. She is my favorite Valentine's present ever. We didn't get to see her on her big day but we sent our love (as well as candy and cash).
Kate the great turned 5 the day after Valentine's Day. She is our mini-Matt. We went over to their place and enjoyed some cake. Then Allie turned the big 30 shortly after. Now we can all breathe a sigh of relief for a little while and take a short intermission from birthdays. Phew.
