the past few years i've begun to take my siblings to do something in celebration of their birthday instead of just giving them a gift. sometimes we go out to eat. other times we go do something fun together (see a movie, ice skating, laser tag… whatever it is they are interested in). the hope is that we get to spend some intentional time together instead of me just buying them a toy that they'll forget about in 3.5 days:) at this point, i think most of them would prefer the toy… but (for the boys especially) getting a meal out of the deal is almost just as great:)
abigail and noah's birthdays are 3 days apart so we combined their outing this year and went out to breakfast one morning. i asked them a few specific questions while we were eating and their answers totally show their personalities:) noah thought of the most random things (which is what i love about him!) and abigail gave me the bare minimum answer, even after i prodded for something broader:) i didn't realize she was so interested in photography until this conversation though… so when i upgrade, i might have to train her on my old camera and start bringing her on shoots:)
keep scrolling to read their answers!
