Since the boys are getting older now (oldest will be 13...youngest will be 9 next weekend), we usually do a dinner for them on their actual b'day...just family usually...then the weekend of or after, we let them pick a place they want to go and they invite 1-2 friends. We started this last year and it has been great...I don't have to stress out with the planning and making sure everything is just right ( a bit OCD, I think) and the boys seem to enjoy it more. Not to mention the money we save...parties are EXPENSIVE. |
Holy crapoli!
That's a BIG party!!
My family just does a little family party for me and my brother. I'm turning 17 and he's turning 15. Cake and ice cream and pizza usually. At my grandma's house with my mom's side of the family. Not too big. But we all love it!
We have little get-togethers all the time. So much fun!
