The birthday girl wakes to balloons in her bed, her own mini cake and her sisters singing Happy Birthday. I started it with Camille one year b/c she was the only one that yr that didnt have a party.
In the kitchen we have the birthday banner.And I sign the b-day girl out from school early for her own special lunch.
We love to celebrate so we do lots of silly things.

We started the decorating of the bedroom door for each birthday and they love it. Birthday celebrant chooses where he/she wants to eat but we always come home to a homemade cake then gifts. For Christmas we have an Elf (Elfis) that comes the day after Thanksgiving. I hope some of our traditions carry with them to their families.

That's a great birthday tradition! I know most kids grow up carving pumpkins and making smores for Halloween but we never did that growing up. We've started doing that with our boys and it's so much fun!

On Christmas Eve we all wake up with a present on the end of our beds. It didn't take long for the kiddos to figure out that it's jammies every year. They start picking out what kind of new jammies they would like for Christmas sometime in September. I think it's the tradition they most look forward to.
We (the kiddos, at least) also put on the new jammies and we make hot

One of my favorites is a little Easter tradition we started. We spoke to the Easter Bunny and asked him to leave one special egg on the kids footboards so when they wake up it's one of the first things they see. Our favorite Christmas tradition is going out in the car with a cup of hot chocolate to look at all the decorated houses. The boys love that on their birthdays they get to pick what

We decorate the family room and kitchen, and a balloon goes on their chair. The birthday kid gets to go to Baskin Robbins for their birthday BREAKFAST of ice cream! At Christmas we ride in the car in pj's to look at lights, and daddy always reads the Christmas story from the Bible by the fire right before bed on Christmas Eve. Love your idea of decorating the bedroom for birthdays!!

For birthdays the kids get to choose dinner for the night, and they get to eat of the Red Plate.

I love your decorating idea!
