A few years ago we started a tradition. The birthday person gets to pick a weeks worth or meals ending with their birthday (approx.) It's a nice way for them to pick their favorites. I think Josh loves this most and he puts a lot of thought into it right down to the sides. So, this weeks plan has a lot of ideas from the soon to be 17 year old!
Friday - Day 5 (counting backwards) - Mac and Cheese (Homemade), Ham, and Fruit
Saturday - We are celebrating Josh today. We are starting with lunch at home before heading out to do some fun things and get dinner together. Amish Breakfast Casserole, Fruit, and Muffins
Sunday - Day 4 - We are actually heading to my Father-in-laws to unload 1000 pounds of wood pellets for him. So lunch is up in the air at this point.
Monday - Day 3 -Dr. Pepper Meatballs, Bean Dip, and Fruit
Tuesday - Day 2 - Josh's birthday dinner!! (He has not picked this as of yet so I'm not sure what we will have!)
Wednesday - Happy Birthday Joshua! This is also youth Group Night which is why it is not "day 1"! Instead we went out to lunch - his choice, and we celebrated with his favorite dinner on Tuesday with my mom. I did take treats to youth group tonight for his birthday :-)
Thursday - Day 1 - I'm also waiting on his last pick. He said he's not sure if he will pick this one or just let me pick.
On a side note - I missed writing my normal Wednesday post. I think I had planned to do an updated post on what we've been doing in Joyful for Co-Op but I forgot it wasn't done. Oops! This is a busy time of year - mid-October through mid-November and then things slow down a little as our co-op ends for the semester.
