[...] The other tradition that we also do on their 8th birthday is give them their own set of scriptures and hymn book. She was very excited about her scriptures and getting her breakfast in bed (you can read about our birthday traditions here) [...]

Time goes by so quickly doesn’t it?! Love the breakfast in bed tradition! Here the birthday child has no chores for the day, gets to choose whatever they want for dinner & cake choice…. We also like to fo something fun!

That’s such a lovely family tradition – I like that they anticipate the special treats and that it happens within the family – that the focus is not necessarily on the presents or the party but on the special family activity.

While we like doing our parties, I wonder how we can start swaying the tradition to something more family centred?

What a great family tradition!!! Our kids all meet on our bed and we all share something special that we like about the birthday person (character wise) and then we all pray for them.

Afterwards it’s present opening time!

Each year we make a special birthday cake and some years we have a party with friends and other years we just do something special as a family – the birthday person gets to pick a nice meal or somewhere to go as a family.
