February 17 is my family's gateway into birthday season which lasts until May 30. This season even includes our dog's and FFTC's birthdays in April.
Since February 17 was just yesterday, I thought this would be the perfect time for us to remind you of all the birthday celebration resources FFTC has compiled. True that we are almost through a whole year of the pandemic and true that means maybe we have been celebrating our birthdays differently. So these resources are extra important.
Our family likes to celebrate birthdays by making super fun cakes. The kids tell us what flavor of cake that want and what they want it to be about.
Chris and I make quite a team. I bake and start the decorating process (like the crumb coat), and he adds the flair and finishing touches. And out of the dozens of cakes that we have made, there have only been two that weren't what the child was hoping for. Unfortunately, it was for the same kiddo.
One was because I made him cakepops . And the second was that we changed his theme completely (I think we told him we were going to do a theme change, and he was okay with it).
This year, we have a Sweet 16 birthday to plan as well as a delayed sleepover for our 10 year old's 11th birthday (since he missed it for his 10 year birthday).
How have you celebrated birthdays this past year?
