We've got a soon to be thirteen year old in the family at the beginning of next year...I hope that boy never outgrows the birthday tree...My birthday falls in the spring...which means sometimes I get a birthday Easter basket...but I would like to change it to birthday diamonds instead I think. Yes. That would be nice. ;) ___________________________________________ <em>Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can't go wrong with birthday diamonds. :D ~W</em> Ohhhh thirteen?

Lame. Though one year, it had Care Bears. That one was awesome. I'd rather have a tree, though. ___________________________________________ <em> Oh no. That's kinda sad, Carly.

My birthday was the end of August and a birthday tree is sooooooo much cooler than a birthday backpack. What a different and wonderful tradition! ______________________________________________________ <em>Carly, what's a Birthday Backpack? </em> I completely agree with him.
