00:00:00.319 --> 00:00:02.650
Yesterday was my daughter's 18th birthday.

2
00:00:02.910 --> 00:00:04.929
I don't really remember when or how it started.

3
00:00:04.940 --> 00:00:06.750
But every year for the kids' birthdays,

4
00:00:06.760 --> 00:00:08.829
we do something special for them to wake up to.

5
00:00:09.079 --> 00:00:12.710
Sometimes it's as simple as streamers at their door or balloons in their room.

6
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:15.439
And sometimes it's more involved like a scavenger hunt for their

7
00:00:15.449 --> 00:00:18.235
gifts or decorating the car for the ride to school.

8
00:00:18.555 --> 00:00:19.954
But this year is a big one.

9
00:00:19.965 --> 00:00:23.784
I mean, it's quite possibly the last birthday she will be spending with us at home.

10
00:00:23.795 --> 00:00:26.204
And now that her childhood has expired,

11
00:00:26.215 --> 00:00:28.764
I figured I would put together something for her to wake up

12
00:00:28.774 --> 00:00:31.434
to telling her all of the fun things she can do.

13
00:00:31.444 --> 00:00:33.715
Now that she is officially an adult,

14
00:00:34.025 --> 00:00:35.834
you would think they would grow out of this.

15
00:00:35.845 --> 00:00:37.834
But I can honestly say that each of the

16
00:00:37.845 --> 00:00:40.194
kids looks forward to this tradition every year.
