Birthdays are a big deal in our family. The birthday boy or girl wakes up to streamers covering their door, followed by many hugs and kisses. Then they have a special breakfast and open presents. My husband either stays home the entire day, or meets us for lunch (birthday child picks the location) and then goes along on the birthday tradition: taking the birthday boy or girl's photo by a historic lion statue my husband proposed to me by. Next, we head out for a special activity (bowling, painting pottery, going to a museum, etc.). And a birthday wouldn't be a birthday without cake and ice cream, which we have at home after a home-cooked dinner. Absolutely no structured school.
For our two dogs' birthdays, there aren't any special meals or activities, but there are presents and streamers, Frosty Paws for the pups and ice cream for the rest of us. And no school.
Yes, birthdays are a big deal in this family.
