Birthdays are always a big deal for me with my sons.

In 2018 my children and I were travelling around Australia on what I like to refer to as our Great Australian Road Trip. After we left Canberra, I especially took my family to Sydney so that we could celebrate my Logan’s birthday, in style as they say, at an AirBnB rather than at a camp ground. The family that we stayed with were wonderfully kind and put on a simple and yet completely beautiful traditionally inspired Japanese evening meal for my son. It was just amazing and so special because it was completely unexpected.

We all shared the birthday cake that I had arranged for Logan’s birthday, along with a bottle of non-alcoholic Prosecco style sparkling red … as is our family tradition … and all together we cheered as he blew out his birthday candles and made his wishes.

Precious memories.

 

As an aside: My sons and I have a family tradition of drinking non-alcoholic Prosecco (a traditional Italian sparkling red wine) on every birthday, for Christmas and New Year’s Eve, and for every celebration really. We always do this, but the glassware that I currently have is not great and my cake stand is just a cheap porcelain one. I used to have a large selection of beautiful Luigi Bormioli glasses from my Wedding Gift Registry. But, alas, glass and hard floors just don’t mix well together when you have young children, so over the years you can imagine that not much survived from my previous sets. Now that my sons are young adults, perhaps I can start buying some beautiful glassware again and teach my sons a little about wine etiquette while serving genuine Prosecco together with some delectable cake on a gorgeous cake stand … Thank goodness for Amazon Wish Lists!
