I really wanted to give him a golden meal at home that my husband would be able to share too. Breakfast seemed to be the only meal we would all be home for.
It was a lot of fun trying to come up with golden foods to serve my birthday boy on his golden birthday. I had a list of several different options. While the choir was singing at the beginning of our church service on Sunday, I came up with the final meal.
Golden Birthday Breakfast
JDaniel also loves yogurt parfaits. He loved the St. Patrick’s Day parfait I made a few weeks ago for him and he loved the leftover strawberry and muffin parfait I made to take to the mom’s group at church last week. I decided he would love a golden birthday parfait.
What is in a golden birthday parfait?
Golden Graham cereal, apple pie filling and vanilla yogurt layered in a plastic cup and chilled over night in the refrigerator.
JDaniel was thrilled to start his first day of being five with golden sunshine highlighting a golden birthday meal. My golden boy will probably be remembering this breakfast for a long time.
Did you know what is a golden birthday was?

how fun! I never knew much about the Golden Birthday either! The husband and Mine are both Long past. Even my oldest’s is long gone. But my next two kids have quite a while to go before their Golden Birthday. I guess there is something to be said about being born at the end of the month. lol.

I had never heard it referred to as a golden birthday but have always made the same age birthday special. Had to wait long time tho as they were born in the twenties.

When your five, McDonalds is a really fun place. My five year old grandson starts asking me if we can go there about three minutes after he gets here…
Sarah~Magnolia Surprise says
Oh what fun! I bet JDaniel had a blast! My daughter (now 29) picked McDonalds as her party place for three consecutive years! And one vacation we had to stop in every McD’s we passed so she could get the Happy Meal Barbies — we were all pretty tired of McDonalds!

I’ve never heard of a golden birthday either…. I like the idea, though! I have a few years before my kiddos’….
I thought of JDaniel and Hexbugs when we went to McDonald’s today — the ones they have are just the right size if you ask me.
Happy birthday, JDaniel!

Happy Belated Birthday JDaniel!
Jenny says
Gosh, I thought I had finished the P’s. I know I commented on facebook and then I think I confused myself. Somedays it doesn’t take much to confuse me!
What a particularly fun childhood!
JDaniel is loved!
And you are soooo admired!
