Dixie's Random Ramblings: Birthdays!

Well, it is the first of Oct. and we are half way through our big "birthday" season. Courtney's b-day is Sept. 25. Carrie's is Sept. 29. Brian's is Oct. 1, and Brice's is Oct. 17th. We never really have huge birthday parties or anything like that, but we usually have family over and have a cook out and cake and ice cream, but that's about it.

Courtney turned 13 this year. For her birthday, her friend, Ashley, got to come spend a whole week with her. She does the same schooling that we do, so she came and they did school together for the week. Courtney loved it. We weren't originally expecting her to stay the week, she was only going to be here for the week end. So on Saturday, before Courtney's birthday she got cup cakes to "celebrate" before Ashley went home. Then on Sunday when it came time for her to go home, she called her mom and begged her to let her stay. That's how she ended up with us all week. Ashley bought her a lava lamp, and she loved that. We got her a curling iron, which she has been asking for forever.

Carrie turned 8 this year. Her birthday fell on a very busy Saturday. I was in TX for a ladies retreat. I took her to OK with me to see her cousins and to stay with them and Nana while I was gone.

When I got back, We had cup cakes with the cousins before we left, and on our way back home Nana and I took her to McD's for a birthday supper. We didn't get home till almost midnight that night. She slept in the car on the way home. She didn't get her birthday "party". We will be having it tonight with some of her friends.


My Sleeping, Birthday Princess

Brian's Birthday was yesterday. He came in from work, showered and went back to town for a preachers fellowship. I baked him a cake earlier in the day, so when he got home we had cake and ice cream with him. Our birthday's aren't really as fun anymore as the kids'. :o)
