Birthdays

Ok so I don't mean to be a downer but why are birthdays so important? What is the big deal! For children I understand but when you hit oh lets say about 21,  birthdays are really kinda just a pain!  Its just not as exciting as it used to be, but why? Why did that magic of birthdays go missing? Maybe the magic is still there but adults are just WAY to busy to notice. Should adults be feeling the magic? Maybe its time to slow down our lives and remember the small things like plastic noise makers and birthday candles.... then again I hate the noise makers!!! LOL o.k. so maybe its just part of life  to just grit your teeth and smile for your children through yet ANOTHER birthday party and all its  madness.  Oh and Meela can you PLEASE come over and show me how in the heck I get this Xmas background off. LOL yes my dirty little secret is out, Meela does my blog decorating!!! Hope everyone had an amazing season. Love you all
