So,I admit, I have a "cheesey" side. . .and I actually find great joy in this! My husband quickly learned that I was raised with many, many traditions that are important to me, and he has been such a sport to keep my childhood traditions alive. One of these traditions is the "Birthday Fairy". The birthday fairy is a special little visitor who comes the night of your birthday and leaves a present by your bedside. Our children love this! (Plus it gets them to bed early the night before their birthday :) When I was little, I assumed everyone had a birthday fairy, kind of like the tooth fairy. When I found out that the birthday fairy didn't visit everyone, I wondered why, but I was sure glad she came to my house! So, the birthday fairy is a very fun tradition we have with our kids, and we have invited other special visitors to our home. We have a "clean room" fairy who occassionally pays a visit, and if the kids' rooms are clean the "clean room" fairy leaves a little surprise on their pillow. If the "clean room" fairy has to pick up their room, than she does, but she doesn't leave a surprise. These little fairy friends certainly add a little fun to our lives!
