You can add my better half to that list--her birthday is a week before the girls'.
Christmas, New Years, and three birthdays in less than a month! It's a busy time around my house.
LOL!
That was my husband's problem, there was never any money left after Christmas for him to spend on my birthday present!
I never minded as I'm not really impressed by stuff.
I even hate shopping!
Our busy birthday time comes in late spring.
