What an incredible privilege to be the mom of such a precious young woman.  Tradition is that the birthday person has to stay in bed until the entire family comes to the room with a birthday song.  Then the celebrated one can walk into the "Big Room" for a special BD breakfast celebration.  The night before, when almost everyone is in bed the breakfast table is magically decorated in a festive way.  The BD person gets to open the family gift at this point and of course gets to eat breakfast out of the special red plate.  The red plate is known to have shown up for a lost tooth, a sick day at home, an anniversary, a very bad day that needed a "lift me up" or best of all a birthday.  It even shows up for a special celebration at a restaurant.  Birthdays are so much fun.  Sara, I am so glad you were born.
