birthday traditions…

Apr. 05, 2012

This is how crazy I decorate for themed parties, Trinity's 4th....
In the Goff family we have big birthday traditions.  When you wake up on your birthday, the family room is always decorated with streamers in your favorite colors.  You can either request up to 3 colors in advance or we surprise you.  Lou has gotten really good at streamers, he is almost professional.  Lucky for me it is now his job.  He makes designs in the ceiling, he will alternate colors behind the bar and make a “curtain” with the streamers.  One year he even wrote “18” on the ceiling and made a dream sphere for Nicole, one of Tabitha’s best friends.  We then all eat your favorite breakfast on cute paper plates in your favorite theme.  After breakfast, it is off to school. This little tradition usually starts the day out right and everyone feels special.

The kids normally have a big themed birthday party with lots of kids on the weekend.  The party is always their gift.  We let our children choose a really nice party, with lots of friends, which means lots of gifts, or one really nice gift.  They always choose the party.  I always make the cake, which I think is better, but one year Tabitha was like ” really, mom could you just buy an ice cream cake like everyone else’s mom!”  “Fine.”  This year for her 19th birthday I bought 2 gross mint chip ice cream cakes.  Can you believe I still had to do a party for her 19th?  She was really insistent, because she always has a party…..  Maybe my tradition isn’t such a great idea after all, I still may be planning their 25th birthday’s.

Today is Trinity’s 10 birthday.  She has decided instead of her normal big party she wants to go to Disneyland with one friend and spend the night at the Disneyland Hotel.  So today, we will be at Disneyland all day! 

 

I think I got off pretty easy this year….

 

Happy Thursday and you won’t hear from me until Saturday….

Trinity is messing with tradition, and has requested she stay up and tell her Dad how to decorate.  So funny…. She is way too much like me.  She is ordering him around telling him where to put the streamers.  Ha, Ha….

Recent Interview

Who is tiffani?

Mom, Wife, author of Loving Tiara, retired home stager, and chronic volunteer. I laugh when I'm happy, nervous, or stressed, so basically, I'm always laughing, and you can hear me from down the block if the windows are open. I love to swear even though it isn't ladylike, and I'm brutally honest, but in a super nice way, or so I think? I tend to roll my eyes, and apparently, my face is very expressive because even when I don't open my mouth, everyone knows what I'm thinking. My hubby and I are homebodies; I'm obsessed with always doing the "right thing " and taking care of my skin. I love learning, am always trying to evolve as a human being, and am a bit of a perfectionist. Let's have some fun! xoxo tiffani
