[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 102272, member: 2211"] Janet, what a heartwarming story about the gocart. I got goosebumps just imagining the boys jumping for joy when they realized the gocart was theirs! kjs, I am a Christmas baby - born on December 27th and I can tell you, you are definitely doing well by your kids by keeping birthdays and Christmas separate! My mother ALWAYS pooled my Christmas and birthday gifts together. What really stunk about it was that on my birthday there was nothing. Ever. One year, everyone forgot it completely until the 1st week of January. That is something great about exh's family - they always made my birthday separate and special. H does also, as do my girls. Good for you! One day your kiddos will appreciate that you kept THEIR special day special. This reminded me of my 12th birthday. It stands out as the only one really great birthday of my youth. I was always in and out of the hospital during the holiday season with asthma, so this particular year was no different. I was home recuperating and my sister came barrelling (ironically loco sister) through the door, made put big giant sweatpants over my pjs and against my mom's wails, took me out for my Christmas present. It was a shopping cart they had stolen from the local supermarket. She and her boyfriend (now brother in law) wheeled me up and down the block till I was frozen through! The most magical part of this was that it had just started snowing, the most sparkly snow ever, and the moon was still out so the sky was lit up as the snow came down and we wheeled up and down the block, my mom screaming for us to come in! Haha - THAT is one of my best birthday/Christmas memories to date. [/QUOTE]
