They Say It's Your Birthday!

Who doesn't love to celebrate a birthday? I always enjoy celebrating my family and friends. Growing up, we were able to choose what we'd like to eat for dinner on our birthdays, dined off of the "You Are Special" red plate, received a special cake and had years worth of fun parties. Minus the parties many of these traditions continue today. Being a winter baby, I was always jealous of my brother's summer parties and that jealousy only continued when my surprise thirtieth birthday party was cancelled due to a fluke blizzard in the D.C. area. (By the way, I stopped turning one year older annually at 30!) Jealousy aside, birthdays are a great opportunity to celebrate the ones you love.

I have been making a LOT of birthday cookies and have a few to share today.

30th birthday cookies for a fun cosmopolitan-loving birthday girl...


Cookies for a preppy, cupcake, ice cream-loving new mom...


And cookies enjoyed during a girls' weekend to celebrate both a birthday and a baby...


Thank you Cindy, Jean and Amanda for including One Preppy Cookie in your celebrations!
