…It’s my birthday, too!
In my family, we have clusters of birthdays in August and in late March/early April. It provides the opportunity to get several households together at one time for a joint party. I love it when we’re all crowded into the kitchen, cooking together, sipping something, laughing, and singing. We tend to break into song for no particular reason. We also love to dance, and we happen to have a music producer/DJ in the family, so dance parties with a house bass beat add to the celebration. I’ve been taking photos of birthdays for more than 30 years now. The difference is that my kids don’t want to have their faces in these photos anymore. Still, I have enough material to offer a gallery of birthday ambience and celebration. I hope you enjoy it!


















Here’s a birthday photo I didn’t take. It’s my third birthday, and I’m at my grandmother’s beach cottage on Lake Michigan. At that age, the most important part of the day was that I got to eat chocolate cake! (Some things haven’t changed much…)

Priscilla, that you for sharing your wonderful birthday memories with us. What fun!
My pleasure, Anne!
Thanks for sharing your birthday memories, Priscilla! It’s good that birthdays are clustered to make celebrations more special.
Happy Birthday! Love your photos, so much fun and love in all of them.
Thanks, Sofia! Happy Birthday to you, too. I hope your birthday museum trip is excellent!
It should be, thank you! Museums are always a good place to spend a birthday.
Such fun birthday memories!
Yes, they are! Thanks!
With you all the way Priscilla – it’s all about the cake – errrr, I mean family LOL!! Thanks for sharing your fun memories.
đ My pleasure!
Excellent birthdays. Love your THIRD! đ
Obviously, I didn’t take that shot, but it is a keeper!
Lovely photos! Happy belated birthday.
Thanks, Dawn! My birthday is in the August cluster, so I can consider your wishes not belated but anticipatory. đ
