A Jar of Birthday Memories

Today is my birthday!

I'm not ashamed to say how old I am...52 years young and so appreciative that I am

alive and healthy and life is good!

I thought I'd share some birthday decorations that I've saved through all the birthday cakes that my kids have had.

Until recently I had them all stuffed in this plastic ziploc bag, and each time there was a

birthday cake with fun decorations, I would stuff them in this bag...

I decided to dump everything out on the kitchen counter and take a look.

We've had our share of birthday cakes with racing cars.

Can I add that I wished my kids were still little so we could have more fun cakes like this?

And then we had football cakes, and a Care Bear cake...

These teenagers were on a cake for my oldest daughter when she was just

becoming a teen and spending lots of time on the phone...

I love these clowns and the variety of candles used through the years.

And when you have a couple of girls, a ballerina cake was when my youngest daughter was

taking dance classes.

I love these candle holders and how fun to see that we have neon colors that are back in style!

So many candles...and there are even a couple of boxes of candles that were never used.

So many memories of birthdays in our home.

It's funny when I see this picture, for some reason, I must of thought these polka dot candles were special enough that they needed their own bag.

I took all of those decorations and put them inside a jar and set them on the kitchen counter

so I can see them each time I"m in the kitchen...

So many wonderful memories in that jar!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Wishing you all lots of birthdays in your life!
