My mother engraved a sterling silver cup with each of the kids full names, birth date and (maybe) weight. Each kid does a toast to the coming year and can choose any drink they want in the cup on their day.

Our first son has a summer birthday and makes all of us wake up and go to the beach to watch the sunrise. It makes for a super early day (~5am), but it’s something we’ve all come to look forward to.
