I know it is a bit of a cop-out...but Tino's birthday is July 4th...so it is usually a built-in party day for him. I always order a birthday cake and we have a cook out at our Lake House. We usually have a bunch of guests since many people have off for the 4th and everyone has a lot of fun!
But, for the record...if it wasn't on the 4th, I'd still throw him a party and we threw our little girl a party for her 1st birthday this past March!
