birthdays posts are changing

In 2023, we are making a change to our birthday blog posts. We thought that it would be wonderful to show you what we mean.
In the past few years, we had only posted one photo and now we will be combing at least two to five photos depending on how many are out there to celebrate the birthday boy or girl.
