What made Zig's birthday perfect (to him) is that there was no big hoopla and his admin kept quiet about the big day at work. Some people say they don't want a big deal made out of their birthdays, but really don't mind, however, Zig means what he says. His idea of a perfect birthday is coming home and having a nice dinner with family and maybe a dessert (healthy, if possible). He does not want gifts, which is good, because he is so difficult to shop for. My Mom did get creative this year, and Zig was stoked about all the heirloom seeds, grains and other goodies.
The kids do love to celebrate his birthday so we at least have to light some candles and sing. We also share things we love and appreciate about him, and there are many to choose from! I can't write them here..that would be going "overboard." Happy Birthday, Zig! Thanks for always being so appreciative of the simple things. You are loved.

Sela chose the dessert all on her own, and here is the Ginger Peach Blackberry Crisp in progress. Zig LOVED it! He had it for dessert, midnight snack, and breakfast. Way to go, Sela!
