We have ongoing birthdays around here that last for a few days or sometimes even weeks....and several parties!  Birthdays are so fun!  We always use the special birthday plate for the birthday girl!  We took our family and some friends to the Constitution Week festival on her actual birthday.  I had found this so CUTE bear in red, white, and blue to remind her of that fun day!  She loved it!  We also had grandma and grandpa over and older sisters' beau over for a birthday lunch on Sunday. It was very fun and we grilled steaks and had baked potatoes, marianated fresh veggies, french bread, and peach pie with vanilla ice cream.  It was all yummy!!!!!!!!!  For co-op the next day, she got to take her class chocolate chip cookies and more ice cream!  Since one of her sisters' birthday is so close to hers and they are 19 months apart, they usually share their friend birthday party.  It works out very well because they have many of the same friends and they can just have one big party (with two cakes)...one year we had Strawberry Shortcake and StarWars...hard to combine those two!  We usually have the party sometime between both their birthdays which is sometime in October....they are planning for a spend the night this year!  Hmmmm...we better get planning!
