It’s my second week participating in the Give Me Five Mondays and I’m late.  Oops!  It’s been a busy day filled with apple picking.  So, this is the first chance I’ve had to get my post done.  Anyhoo, this week Becca asked us to post about five memorable birthdays- not necessarily our own, just five birthdays that are memorable.

1.  My 10th birthday party was very memorable.  I remember my mom having told me that now that I was turning 10- I wouldn’t be having a big birthday party filled with kids every year anymore.  I also had piano lessons that day and I felt a little upset that I couldn’t skip my piano lessons on my birthday, but my mom made me go.  After my piano lessons we headed home- to a surprise birthday party.  All of my friends were there waiting for me with a big birthday party.

2.  My 16th birthday was memorable because as soon as I got out of school I went an took my drivers permit test and passed.  I got to drive home from the test- a memorable experience for my mom too, I’m sure.

3.  Hailey’s birth-day.  You know- her actual day of birth.  That was quite memorable.

Just look at that little face.

4.  Hailey’s 1st birthday was very memorable too.

Just look at that little face.

5.  And last, but certainly not least- Brooke’s 16th birthday was very memorable.  I mean- me- the step-mom to a 16 year old.  Just not possible.

I found a fun meme to do on Mondays called Give Me Five Monday.  Every week the hostess, Becca will give everyone a question and you have to come up with five answers.  Fun, right?  So, I decided to join in.  This weeks topic is breakfast foods.  We are supposed to list our five favorite breakfast foods.

1.  Definitely coffee.  Many days coffee is the only thing I have for breakfast.  I add a bit of sugar and some yummy flavored creamer. 

2.  Ham Hashbrown casserole.  In fact I love this so much that we often have it for dinner.

3.  Monkey Bread- Really bad for me but incredibly yummy!

4.  French Toast with lots of maple syrup.

5.  And for the regular days, when I don’t have time for all that yumminess- I love Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
