We were visiting relatives over the holidays and our youngest daughter is turning 1 on January 4th so we wanted to throw a party for her.

Unfortunately the date we picked between Christmas and the new year also happened to be my birthday. So we ended up celebrating my birthday as much as hers. I really wanted it to be just our daughter’s party but I guess it was inevitable someone would buy a cake for me since it happened to be the actual date of my birthday.

I’m sure it’s the first time we ever celebrated my birthday with Curious George and Elmo decorations, Dora the Explorer cups and plates, and pink and purple balloons!

By the way, our older daughter is turning three in March so got her a cake and celebrated her birthday as well. In fact we sang Happy Birthday four times because my brother in law’s birthday was less than two weeks ago. I guess that’s what happens when family’s only get together a few times per year.
