My girl loves the things that go along with birthday celebrations. Every time we go to a store with balloons, she insists that we walk past them, stare at and describe them all, and then when she asks if we can borrow them (this is her way of suggesting we buy one, but she thinks that is called borrowing), I tell her maybe we can do that for a special occassion like her birthday. Then she goes into a detailed description of what she loves to have for her birthday, including balloons and cake and candles and blowing the candles out at a party. She is very excited for her birthday --- and doesn't really understand that it isn't until January!
She is also getting excited about Christmas decorations. Logan put the lights on the house this last week (when we had some nice enough weather, so he won't have to worry about it when it is snowing later in the year....he's so on top of things!) And we have been seeing Christmas trees with lights at Costco for a couple weeks. Today, Elise and I sat down and were talking about Jesus, and how he was born as a little baby and at Christmas, we celebrate his birthday. We talked about the events surrounding his birth, and the decorations we put up to celebrate, like putting lights on the tree, and that we give gifts. She was so excited. All day she has talked about celebrating Jesus birthday as a baby when we will have a tree with lights, and then adds that for her birthday she'd like some cake, balloons, and a tree with some lights! I guess we can keep the tree through the 24th of January, as that isn't that big of a stretch! It is going to get more interesting in the mean time, as she is asking when we are going to start making her cake......
