For kids, there is no day of the year more exciting than their birthday. Although, we can be pretty sure that Christmas is a close second! Having a day that is all about them and filled with parties, cake, and presents makes birthdays a day like no other.
Watching your child’s face light up with joy as they unwrap their gifts to find a toy inside that has been on their wish list all year is one of the highlights of the day. But seeing kids open their birthday cards and read the messages before proudly displaying them is also a special moment.
