The beginning of January is kind of an interesting time for the Barlows.

Because Christmas, it’s basically over.

And yet, the celebration still goes on. Why?

Because of New Year’s. And birthdays.

We want to make these January birthdays special, too. So, what does that mean?

I will tell you.

It means doughnuts. And lots and lots of cake.

Someday I envision these boys sort of sharing their birthdays — maybe even celebrating on the day between, together. But, for now, there is cake… there are donuts….there is an avalanche of candy from the piñata. There are no first of January sort of resolutions.

But, we have sugar. And we are all very very happy.
