Birthday Traditions!

Boys - Fire - Fun!

Coming from a large extended family, when we were younger, birthday parties were happening all of the time - year 'round! They always included multiple cakes and a lot of singing and blowing out candles! well, everyone had to have a chance to blow out the candles and be sung to! by the time everyone had a chance, the top of the cake was full of dripped candle wax, candles burned down to the frosting and a shiny layer of spray spit!
we recently had a birthday a grandma/papa's house, i'm not saying whose! but the "boys" were in town for the occasion! and obviously we had to continue the tradition with some modification! we kept the fire and singing, but did cut down on the cake spit!



i mean, everybody has to have a turn! and sometimes more than one!





and sometimes when you're the youngest of the group, special allowances must be made to be sure that you get a turn too!
