This weekend was simple, sweet, and birthday-perfect. My two youngest boys have birthdays just one day apart (totally unplanned, as my youngest surprised us by arriving 6 weeks early). Now we get to celebrate them together with a joint birthday weekend.
I spent one evening decorating two little “birthday corners” in our dining area so each boy had a space that felt special just for him. My middle guy requested a rainbow cake with chocolate icing, so I ran with the rainbow theme for his decorations too. It was so colourful and extra cheerful – the look on his face when he came out the morning after was soooo cute. 
We keep our birthday celebrations pretty low-key… just immediate family, presents opened at home, a homemade cake, and phone calls from grandparents and cousins. It feels wonderfully old-school, and I love that.
And now that the birthday festivities have wrapped up, I can officially dive into Christmas decorating! Our tree has been up since early November, but the rest of the house is still waiting for its holiday magic.
