Dear Babs and Mr. Babs, I've enjoyed following you for forever! I want to share our Miller Family tradition for celebrating birthdays. With the traditional birthday cake, we sing Happy Birthday, then a verse of "God's blessings to you" with the same melody and then launch into a "Today is William's birthday, birthday, birthday. Today is William's birthday, let's clap the years away." And then we clap once for every year the person has achieved. We did this for all of our children. It is wonderful to see it carried on with each grandchild, parent, and grandparent. The youngsters are especially filled with surprise and delight as they have to count the years away for even the eldest.
I love your tradition from your uncle of giving gifts to all the grandchildren. I think I may start that this year as I celebrate my 70th. Thanks and God bless you and yours this Thanksgiving. I give thanks for you. Sue
