Doug's & Rachel's Gift
Saturday evening, after all the hoopla was over. Doug took Rachel on a secret mission. She came in from the garage holding these flowers and a card. The card said, "Thank you for giving birth to me."
Doug learned about this tradition from a friend. Each year the birthday kid helps pick out a gift for mom in celebration of her gift. It's a way to teach the children to honor the role their mother plays. I think it's a beautiful idea.

It looks like I haven't been reading blogs lately. I'm finally caught up on all the birthday festivities. You are a wonderful party planner and it looked like a fabulous way to celebrate Rachel's young life. I didn't see anything but smiles all around (except when the cake was taken away) :) !
