It is a 12/12 Birthday

Happy Birthday
Having a December birthday is not always the best thing. Having a sister who has a birthday New Year's Day is also not such a great thing. Growing up we had to share our birthdays! While growing up many of our birthday gifts where wrapped in Christmas paper. Our one Grandma would combine our birthday gifts and our Christmas gifts!
 "Oh Gee Whiz! Mom, why could you not have had me in July?" 
Summer birthday's have all the fun.

Ha, Ha!!
I actually think I have the best day of all.
Thank you, Mom for having me on 12/12 and my sister on 1/1, how cool is that!

 I had a very special birthday in 2012, 12/12/12!
My husband took the day off of work, my boys took the day off of school and we had a 12/12/12 ski day!

12/12/14 was a special birthday too. My sister treated me to a weekend in Chicago. It was the beginning of a new tradition for us ...  Sister's Weekend!


I will be off celebrating another special birthday.

Have a great weekend!

 ♥

    Happy Birthday sweet friend! Have LOTS of fun this weekend! My hubby was born in Dec and I was born in Jan so we know all about getting those birthday presents wrapped in Christmas paper. (or one gift for both) HAVE FUN! Birthday hugs coming your way, Diane

    Happy early birthday! That is a good date! I love how you and your sister both have repeating number birth dates! We have a few December birthdays in the family and I try to make them special and not Christmas related!

    Mine is on the 28th. From the first year of our marriage (43.5 years ago), I told my husband I would NOT open a BD gift wrapped in Christmas paper. Never. Again. All my life my relatives had always yelled across the room as we opened Christmas presents "Now, Christine! That is for Christmas AND your BD." Oh, how I disliked hearing that.... year after year. So, he and our kids have always honored that request for me. His BD is on the 5th, and he said he didn't remember that ever happening to him ~ people likely didn't have their bins of wrapping paper out that early, I guess. Our kids do think it is pretty awful to have Christmas AND both parents BDs in December, though!! Have a fun weekend!!

    How fun Carla and Happy Birthday. My hubby was born on 1/1 and was an identical twin so they always got the same treatment. Birthday/Christmas combo gifts. Have a great day and enjoy your special day.

    Happy Birthday! My dad's birthday is the 18th, so he totally understands having a birthday close to Christmas.
