Today, July 31st is my only son's birthday. Eversince, from his childhood until his middle school days, we would celebrate it with a party, sometimes at a park, at the beach or at home, but, always around his loved ones- family or friends. But, as he gets older, he doesn't want to make a big deal about it. A simple gathering of immediate family members or just the three of us is enough for him, as we did today.
His work schedule started at 5 am, so, I wasn't able to greet him Happy Birthday and the only time I had the chance to do so was when I phoned him at noon during his lunch break.
Then, for his birthday dinner, I bought him a small cake, though not his favorite- the Oreos kind- a marble with chocolate icing. And Nette made linguini with Shitake and clam sauce. Serve with chilled Smirnoff "ICE." Pictures were taken showing us all happy although it was quite simple and him wished more birthdays to come.

small gatherings are nice~ I also think the older you get, the less you want a big party~ Unless of course it's a significant age like 25, 30, 40, 50, etc....
I'm glad Gino had a nice birthday...I wish we could have been there to celebrate with you guys!
i think we all agree on that. whenever it's big or small, it's a nicer celebration if spend around those that matter to us
