everyone blows out my candles

Is this how it goes in your family? Everyone needs a turn to blow out the candles. Boy, the fighting that went on because keira blew out the candles before everyone else. So everyone got a turn. After we did the family tradition (from retro daddy’s side) where we have to turn the lights off, hold hands, swing them and sing happy birthday. Then we have keira’s tradition of the other happy birthday where you smell like a monkey and live in the zoo. That one never gets old here.

But everyone declared it the best birthday ever…………that will be until the next birthday in the family! And now I’m off to put my feet up, do some knitting and try to stay awake for at least a few rows.

  5. Taking turns: too cute!
    Reminded me of the sibling rivalries my brother & I had as children: mum found a twin banana and we were meant to share but he went and ate it by himself so Mum had to put a note up on the fridge saying the next twin banana that is found is Rachel’s.
