Let the Celebration Begin!


Sarah Martin's birthday week began yesterday.  Yep, birthdays are a BIG deal around here.  The girls' birthday weeks are also affectionately called "Jilli-Gras" and "Sarah-Gras", because our birthday related excitement trumps any Mardi Gras celebration.  I even overheard Jillian tell Sarah Martin a few days ago that she could play with her beloved toys and books, because it was her birthday month.  Makes my heart sing.  Last year I blogged about our birthday pillow tradition.  My girls LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the happy birthday pillow.  We all sleep on this pillowcase each year during our birthday month...yes, even Jason (the girls insist).  I highly recommend this silly birthday tradition.  It is a source of much joy at our house.  Sarah Martin also received Boots as a wragglefratz (a gift for absolutely no reason) to kick off her week.
