Thanks for the link to where to purchase a red plate. I had been contemplating making my own at a pottery painting class or something but buying one is much easier! Thanks.

We use them on special occasions all the time. But one funny thing is sometimes I catch my husband using it for his morning coffee and I ask him why he is using it he says "I feel special today" LOL doesn't mean the same when you give it to yourself.Kristen Andrewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16459128354316846076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538251275202889882.post-3577086892195901232008-07-14T11:46:00.000-07:002008-07-14T11:46:00.000-07:00Love this post!!! I am highly considering a stealing of this tradition for my family. I love the idea of teaching my kids how to make someone feel special for an occasion or no reason at all.

Now that the girls are a little older, we have a "baking" tradition in our house. Whoever is being honored gets a pie.

It's called a "birthday ring," and you walk around the candle the number of years your child has been alive (to represent their time here on earth). During the walk, you share stories of their experiences, milestones, etc. <BR/><BR/>I wrote it about for my son's first birthday,<A HREF="http://mama-om.blogspot.com/2007/10/birthday-ring.html" REL="nofollow">here</A>. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again,Genny, for sharing another very sweet and inspired idea with us!Stacy (mama-om)http://www.mama-om.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538251275202889882.post-11897099599851193542008-07-11T03:17:00.000-07:002008-07-11T03:17:00.000-07:00This is wonderful!
