On birthdays at our house, we cuddle up and read the “Happy Birthday to You!” book by Dr. Suess.  Its our own little family tradition that started when Nathan and I got married, and now continues on birthdays for everyone in the family – not just the kids!  Its one of my favorite things that we do together as a family. 

And…birthdays are the only days of the year we get to read the book. 

Whats great is after the birthday reading, the book is stuck in my head for days!

“If you’d never been born, then you might be an ISN’T! An Isn’t has no fun at all. No he disn’t. He never has birthdays, and that isn’t pleasant. You have to be born, or you don’t get a present”
