I surprised Greg on his 24th Birthday on Friday morning by turning our living room into Birthday Central with streamers and a delicious pancake breakfast. Here is a picture of how surprised he was! HA! HA! We had cinnamon pancakes and the best tasting cantaloupe I've ever tasted.
While we were eating, Greg kept telling me that I shouldn't have done all this work for him because it was just his birthday. For some reason Greg has never really understood why I make birthdays into such a big deal, but he didn't grow up in the Christianson household where my mother would wake up at dawn to bake muffins, wrap presents and hang up those unforgettable dutch streamers. When I was younger, I would look forward to my birthday, not just for the presents and the attention, but because for just one day, I would feel very special and loved. So as Johanna's daughter, I feel that I should carry on the birthday tradition of making my loved ones feel special on their one special day of the year. Happy Birthday Greg!
