We have three children who share the same birthday month, which happens to be this month (October). Two are sons and one is our only daughter. When they were younger and we lived in North Carolina still, we would rent the local rollerskating rink and have a huge party. The nice thing about that was we could invite a lot of people without it costing a lot of money - beyond renting the rink, getting the cake and things.
Now they are older (my youngest just turned 12) and we live about 12 hours away from our immediate family. So we have to try different things. This year we will be attending church this morning as we always do. Then we will be having friends over for dinner. To me there is nothing like spending a Sunday afternoon with family and/or friends.
I really enjoy cooking, so this gives me a chance to do this for more than just my own immediate family. Today we are having Bar-b-Que Pork that I am fixing in my Ninja cooking system (I love this machine). Plus we are going to have ribs cooked on the grill. We will have a salad, vegetables and some type of potatoes. Actually I think I am going to have my oldest son and his father make their special oven baked bacon cheesy potatoes. This is their new creation and it is fantastic!
So what are you doing special today? What are you having for dinner? I look forward to reading what you share!
Birthdays are special and they become even more special when you have lots of family and friends who come and join in the celebrations.Happy birthday to all your children.
ReplyDeleteNayna, you are absolutely right. Birthdays are very special when you have people around to celebrate with you. Thank you for the birthday wishes!
