My birthday was November 24th. Since I was out of province on business on the 24th, we celebrated my birthday on Saturday night.
Tradition in our family was always an angel food cake for on your birthday. This year was no exception to that tradition.
This is my DH and me. The photographer was my son.
After supper we retired to the family room. It was a nice relaxing way to celebrate a birthday.
Yesterday we attended a surprise birthday party for my husband’s sister. She turns 60 on the 8th. 
My husband was surprised when there was a cake there for him too.
May 3 was my DS’s 23rd birthday. This was also the day that my husband’s family had chosen to celebrate my MIL’s 80th birthday. My son was a little disappointed that his special day had been overshadowed by the 80th birthday celebrations and he would not be able to pick the menu for his birthday dinner. To help ease the disappointment, I took him out for a birthday breakfast. Here he is in the restaurant about to enjoy french toast and sausage.
After breakfast, we stopped by my parents’ for a quick visit. This is myself, my son, my mom, and my dad. A neighbour was walking by and offered to take the picture for us.
This is the cake that was at my MIL’s birthday celebration later in the day. All the grandchildren that have birthdays in the vicinity of Grandma were listed on the cake.
Matthew’s special birthday dinner was rescheduled to later in the week–Thursday, May 7th. Matthew celebrated with a menu of pancakes, sausage, and a Dairy Queen ice cream cake.
In our household, you get to request whatever you want for supper that day–even if it is breakfast for supper! LOL
Today was my daughter’s 21st birthday.
We celebrated in traditional style for our household – a menu for dinner which includes all the choices of the birthday celebrant, right up to the kind of cake.
Tonight, my daughter chose, grilled chicken and bison burgers, green salad, macaroni salad, pickles, potato chips, lemonade, and Dairy Queen ice cream cake.
We had my husband’s mother and my parents in attendance. At one point in our lives, all grandparents lived in other cities far away from us. We are fortunate now to have everyone living close enough that we can celebrate milestones such as this together.
Happy Birthday, D!
Yesterday was my Mom’s birthday.
My brother was here for a short visit with his family before they headed out for a family vacation so we took advantage of the photo opportunity.
Here is Mom with her daughter (me) and her son.
We took another shot adding Dad to the mix.
