“Birthdays are huge in our house,” writes Samantha Darby. “I don’t mean huge like elaborate, over-the-top parties where I have a ‘balloon budget’ — I just mean we make a big deal out of it. The birthday person gets dinner of their choosing; I’ll make whatever cake they want or take them to pick one out; they get a whole birthday table set up in the morning with presents and decorations. Basically, they get a whole day that belongs to them, where they’re calling the shots.”
