I would recommend going the extra mile for your child/children on the milestone ages like age 1, 5, 10, 13, and 16. All the other birthdays can be low key. Low key birthdays are fine with just your family and no friends... our children need to value special time with family as well not always with friends. I would of course explain to the children on which ages they will have a SPECIAL BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION. If you say party you will be boxed in. Celebration can be anything your family or child wants within reason of course.Southern Wifeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10097508751228474738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762056791388731383.post-37298857652494634872011-06-29T10:39:16.346-04:002011-06-29T10:39:16.346-04:00My boys are 5 and 6.

The oldest has a summer birthday, so his friends from school aren't always around. The younger one I can get by for less with cupcakes and some fanfare at school. We were going to skip a year because they started expecting parties (and gifts) and we want them to be grateful. But when I got pregnant last year, we knew there'd be a big deal made about the new baby so we did parties for them. This year, no party. We have some family in the area so we'll just round up the cousins and do something simple.Roshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00515704728809008409noreply@blogger.com
