I have been away with my son and his family waiting for my twenty-sixth grandchild to be born! He's finally here! Although the birth was difficult in a couple of ways, and I won't go into the details, the best thing is that baby is healthy and perfect! He looks a little bluish and red but that will dissipate soon! I am grateful to God for His provision and grace for a healthy mom and baby!

My son's family has a tradition, done with each of their home births--they celebrate the day with a birthday cake! Here Aaron and his children light the candles!

And then present the cake, singing Happy Birthday to baby Gideon and his momma, just four hours after the birth.
And, of course I am a very proud grandma!
Do you have traditions for family occasions?

aawww...sweet photos!
When I was young and I and my friends were having kids we, too, had birthday cakes.
Some of us had home births so the birthday cake celebration happened right away.
I love that tradition!
Congratulations! 26 grand babies! You are so blessed!
