Mar. 21, 2009 - Half Birthdays
Today was a VERY Special day!!! You see, today is Praise's HALF birthday! That's right, she is Two and a HALF today!!! HUH? You say? Well, we didn't think that 9 birthdays a year were enough days to celebrate. We like to find a reason to celebrate in our family, so we decided years ago, to celebrate half birthdays!!! You know how when you are little, it seems your birthday NEVER arrives....so we decided, in our family, it would be fun to celebrate half birthdays too! For half birthdays, you get to choose where to have either lunch or dinner. You get your choice of dessert. You get to get sung to "Happy Half Birthday to you!" and you get to choose a half birthday gift $20 or less.
Praise got a pink miniature wheelbarrow and pink toddler sized real rake and shovel to help outside this gardening season.
She got funfetti cupcakes with chocolate frosting.
And we ate whole wheat spaghetti for dinner.
You are only 2 1/2 once afterall, you know.

How fun! We always did that too- just a special dessert on their half birthday though. They tend to forget now that they are older...I just reminded Daniel we missed his 1/2 birthday on Friday and he requested a simple pound cake when he gets back from youth group tonight. When they were younger, those 1/2's were more important than the actual birthday...and if you didn't add that "half" to their ages...it was a big deal!

We do this too! For their real birthday, Daddy takes them out to dinner at the restaurant of their choice. For their half birthday, they go out with Mommy. This way, they get one-on-one dates with each of us at least once a year.
