Memorable Family Tradition?

Growing up, every birthday was celebrated with a beautiful red plate with the words “You are special today” written on it. My siblings and I were excited to eat not only our birthday cake on this plate, but also our birthday breakfast, birthday lunch, and birthday dinner! When I got married, my Mom gave me my own red plate and I have continued this tradition with my family. I use the plate not only for birthdays, but also for celebrating new jobs, first days of school, last days of school, or even just getting through a tough day. Everyone in my family knows when the red plate comes out, it’s time to celebrate!
