I found out about name days back in February. It is a tradition in Sweden and some other European countries to celebrate a person on the day assigned to their name on the calendar. I looked up Magnus and Ragnar and found their name days and then put it on our calendar to celebrate. We thought it would be a great way for each of our twins to have their own special day since they share a birthday. We decided to bake a cake together for name day and that during that day the name day child could pick what we ate for meals as well as get a small gift.
Magnus decided he wanted to get a giant mylar balloon for name day. We went to the party store and picked one out. We then went to the grocery store, and he picked out the cake, frosting and decorations for his name day cake. We came home and made the cake, and he picked his favorite takeout food for lunch- grilled cheese/fries/lemonade. He loved his name day cake, and we sang "happy name day" (to happy birthday tune) to him. I think he was pleased with the day and felt very special.
