December Birthdays

For some reason my month of choice for having children was December. I will admit that winter is more pleasant than summer to be 9 months pregnant but December is already a crazy busy month without adding two birthdays to the mix. Zach's birthday is on the 8th and he turned 10. As has become custom we went to the Mayan restaurant with Kim and her family to celebrate all of the December birthday (she has 2 also) Luckily this still works for Amanda. I realize that in the very near future Amanda is not going to accept her birthday celebration being lumped in with Zach or that we have her cake on Christmas Eve when the family is all together. Mandy's birthday is the 23rd. She wasn't due until the middle of January but decided to give us an early Christmas present and arrived 3 weeks early. I was more than happy to have the tax break but I am sure that very soon I will be hearing about how bad it is to have a birthday that close to Christmas. Luckily Zach and Amanda have plenty of company when it comes to December birthdays. Of course Kerry's birthday is also in December as well as 3 of their Hanson cousins. This year Amanda is just excited to be 4 and loved that she kept getting lots of presents.
