Joe Bob — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 22:21:21 +0000

Mom's Work is Never Done – Kids and their Birthdays

Sarah H. — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 12:30:31 +0000

Having 3 kids, we’ve planned a few birthday parties. For some, we have gone all out and for a few it has just been a small dinner with close family.

My daughter’s birthday is on Christmas Eve so it’s always tricky to try and plan her party. Do we do it before Christmas or after Christmas? Do we invite all her classmates even though it’s so close to Christmas? One year she decided she wanted a luau themed party complete with swimming. That year we did a ‘half’ birthday. She had a party in June at a swimming pool. While that was a lot of fun, come December, she wanted another party!
