I try to think of mine as just another day....sometimes Shawn goes all out, and then sometimes I'm not even sure he remembers. Sadly, G is typically with his dad. Of course, I get the phone calls, and Facetime from my kids / grandkids and that makes it all worth it! *plus I share a birthday with Tamara so that's always fun!
Pretty much just another day but we do go out to dinner and my brother usually calls. My one granddaughter always texts me but that's probably just because we share a birthday.
In Utah my birthday is on a holiday with fireworks so our last two years we have gone to the ballgame with fireworks after and now DIL wants it to be a tradition so we'll see how it goes. When I was little it was always no big deal. If I want a cake it seems I have to make it myself. sometimes we opt out
Happy Birthday Tammy!! July is the best!!
