Birthdays and Christmas

 By: Best Birthday Idea- recipe here
People with December birthdays really get the short end of the stick. I can imagine how everyone must say, "Here's your gift. Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas." So I've tried to make today special. It's Doc's birthday. We've celebrated simply and relatively quietly, except for the boys' hilarious rendition of "Happy Birthday."  Our grand finale will be tonight when we drive around to look at Christmas lights. This will probably be one of those days we won't soon forget.  Isn't it funny how sometimes the less you do, the more memorable it is?  Maybe we have found our goal for Christmas this year.  I'm seeing the phrase repeatedly on blogs everywhere, "Keep it simple."   

Here are some simple touches in my decor from last year. And on the cheap I might add.  Either thrift, homemade or free.




If we get too stressed, we might be asking this...

I did not come up with this clever quote below.  I saw it on a blog last year.  If it's yours, please step forward and take credit.


So in all the hustle and bustle, don't forget to...

have a Bright season of love.

We'll soon be celebrating another birthday.  The most special one of all.
Sorry about the quality of this clip but it's my favorite.  Love seeing this little 4 year old's expressions.



Happy Birthday Jesus.
