Thank you Krispy Kreme for sponsoring this post. Celebrate Krispy Kreme‘s 78th birthday by trying the new Birthday Cake Batter Doughnut and Chiller today.
It was this month when I realized we never celebrated my oldest’s half birthday in May. My excuse is that it fell on Children’s Day(see the post here) and I was so excited and focused on that holiday(it was my favorite holiday growing up and I still get excited about it!) that I totally forgot about her half birthday. Our little family tradition for their half birthdays is to go get a little treat like cupcakes or doughnuts and go to the dollar store where each child gets to pick out 1 item from the store. The reason why I started this tradition is because whenever people ask me how old my kids are and I say they are 4 or 5 years old, they are quick to correct me and say, “No, mom! I am four and a HALF!!!” When you haven’t lived for that long, 1/2 a year mark is a big deal. 🙂 So we celebrate this day as the official day when they can start saying they’re _____ and a half years old!
So we went to Krispy Kreme and tried their new Birthday Cake Batter doughnut and Birthday Cake Batter Chiller(which I thought was perfectly fitting for our half birthday celebration), their new items that were added to the menu last week to celebrate their 78th birthday. I was a little worried the Birthday Cake Batter Chiller was going to be way too sweet but it wasn’t too sweet and I actually really liked it! It’s a creamy and not-too-sweet cupcake flavored ice beverage that’s topped with whipped cream and sprinkles. I loved the sprinkles that added a fun crunch to the drink. The doughnut literally tastes just like cake batter, like even the same level of sweetness and my half birthday girl loved it. These confetti and cake batter treats are available from July 6-August 30th, 2013.
Then we went to the dollar store and it’s always fun seeing what the kids pick out .
Do any of you celebrate half birthdays? What do you guys do to celebrate?

Of course 1/2 a year is a big deal. My niece and I also have this habit of celebrating the halves' as well.
