I'm Noah: Traditions

I am writing about our family traditions to fulfill one of my cub scout requirements. Our family does a lot of fun things, that we call traditions, but I’m going to write about one of my favorites.

I would like to talk about pre and post birthday’s

First of all what is a pre/post birthday? A pre birthday is the day before birthday, and the almost next year old family member opens a present. A post birthday is the day after your birthday and you open a present. Sometimes we substitute a present for an ice cream outing, or we’ll eat the birthday cake on the post birthday. We’ve even done a fun outing for the pre or post birthday!

Why does my family have them? My parents think 1 day a year is not enough to celebrate our day, so they made pre/post birthdays for everyone in my family.

I like this tradition because I get three days a year, dedicated to ME!! But also, this is unique to our family! We have so much fun doing this and usually when people ask us about pre or post birthday everyone is amazed and find it to be a fun idea!

Some of my favorite birthday memories are of Pre and Post celebrations!! I remember one time where we traveled to Heber City and played around a park up there, saw the trains and ate at the Dairy Keen. That was for a post birthday celebration.

Eloise, my sister, is turning 9 tomorrow. So for her Pre-Birthday, we went out to Orange Leaf and all had some ice cream. It was a lot of fun! I don’t know what my parents are planning for the post birthday, but I’m sure it will be awesome!

I would prefer to go on 3 hikes this year for my pre and post birthday stuff. Like, Craters of the Moon for my Pre Birthday. Palisades for my Birthday and then maybe Table Mountain for my Post Birthday. That would be awesome, but I don’t know if my parents are up for that! I’d settle for 2 hikes. Here are some pictures of me and my family on some of my pre and post birthdays!
