Yep, always have a great day on my birthday. It's the only day of the year I can walk around and say "It's my BIRTHday!!" about a thousand times and embarrass any family members that are around me.
I never ask for anything because I have more than I could ever need , but DH always gets me something anyway and the boys always remember to call and say happy birthday. So it's always happy no matter what.
