We have a family tradition that each year on each person’s birthday, they get to decide where we eat for dinner. I grew up with this tradition in my family and always enjoyed it and wanted to keep it going with my kids. Dalton selected Rainforest Café for his birthday dinner this year. It has been a favorite of his for years and still asks if we can at least walk through the jungle scene each time we find ourselves at the Riverwalk. Naturally, I figured Addie would ask to go somewhere equally as exciting. However, it turns out she noticed our unused picnic basket tucked away in our garage a few months back and has been begging to have a real picnic for weeks. When asked where she wanted to go for her birthday dinner, she quickly replied that she just wanted to have a picnic. What mom cannot honor that request? Since her birthday was on a Tuesday this year, we packed some PB&J’s, fruit and the leftovers from her cookie cake from school, headed up to Dalton’s karate class early and had a picnic at the church playground.
I love my sweet, yet simple little girl!
