I am a winter baby who has a holiday birthday! My birthday is just 3 days after Christmas, right in the middle of everything major happening in December and just before the New Year, so its nice to have birthday pictures that are also holiday focused!

December Birthday Storytime

If you’ve ever known someone’s birthday that is just around Christmastime, I’m sure you’ve heard things like they feel forgotten about or their birthday turns into yet another holiday celebration, blah blah blah. The list of complaints go on. And as someone who has experienced this firsthand, I can tell you the truth is…

THEY’RE NOT LYING! 😂

To be honest, as a child, I didn’t appreciate my own birthday. I always felt like it was just in the middle of everything. It was right after Christmas so everyone’s money was spent and I often did feel forgotten about on my birthday. If I did get gifts from anyone beside my immediate family, they’d combine Christmas and birthday gifts which sucked. In retrospect I am grateful I did get gifts and I was happy to be around family on my birthday. That’s really what matters in the end, right?

December 28 Birthday

Now that I am adult, I decided to make my own birthdays special. I also have two boys and a husband who never forgets and always gets me separate presents to open. Even though I’m an adult, I’m a big kid at heart who loves surprises and opening presents. ☺️

39th Holiday Birthday Dress

I turned 39! And this dress, earrings and headband needed some recognization and a permanent spot on my blog!
