Last October, I gave birth to our 4th child. So that means her birth is approaching quickly. My dilemma here is that our firstborn’s birthday is also in October. Their birthdays are four days apart! I’m looking for birthday party ideas. Ways to make them both feel special. Especially this year is that it will be our youngest first birthday and our oldest will be turning 8… but this will be her first birthday having to share her birthday month & I don’t want her to feel any less special than the years before!! I’ll also add that our oldest is my husband’s daughter from a previous relationship. Her mother also had a baby on the 9th of October… so he will be one on the 9th. She turns eight the 15th, and then our youngest turns one on the 19th. So I think it’s important to not make her feel like her birthday month just got overrun by her new siblings lol. Thank you in advance for any and all ideas!
My birthday is October 19 also. I would DEFINITELY have them different cakes! And different balloons. Different themes, i know that’s a lot to ask for, but you know the oldest isn’t going to want a babies themed party, but at the same time…the baby isn’t going to care regardless lol
Have the party for the oldest. Give the 1 yr old a smash came and call it good. That sweet baby won’t know the difference and it makes no difference to the little one
I would have a party before her birthday just for her with some friends. Then for the one year old just have a smaller get together with just family closer to his birthday. They both get their own celebrations and no one feels like someone is impeeding on their special day.
Hate to tell you this but the one year ain’t even going to remember a damn thing. Concentrate on the others.
I have 2 in October… 2 days apart… 10 years apart LOL The 18th and the 20th… I do 2 completely different parties…I make sure my oldest has her own party so she doesnt feel like she has to “share” weve been doing it 3 years and it seems to be fine…
We do joint parties for our 3 in June then another joint party in july for the 2 born that month. They get to design their own cakes and pick out their birthday dinner …i dont see any problems doing a joint party. Since the baby is so young let the older child pick out decorations etc.
My two old ears birthdays are 8 days apart. I just make sure that they have their own birthdays I make sure all birthday cards are down one day before the other now they are older I make sure they have the same money spent on them.
You daughter should be ok as it’s her birthday 1st so she will have had her day 1st and forgotten about.
Probably make it clear to family that you want both birthdays separate. I find that they come for the 1st ones or the second ones but not both so one child ends up having presents early or late.
It’s frustrating I don’t mind for some family members as they live quite far away so making 2 visits a week a part would be hard.
I’m lucky as there’s 3 yrs apart when they were little we would have a really good day out the weekend in the middle they have shared parties in the past and was happy with that but still had there own day. My youngest struggles as she see the other two getting presents near each other and she has to wait for hers to come round
My oldest 2 are 11 days apart.
My 2nd and 4th are 15 days apart.
With my first 2 my 2nd had his first birthday by himself and after that I did a coparty for them both.
With my 4th he will have his own first and join the other 2.
My oldest is going to be turning 13 so I don’t think she’ll be much into the party thing anymore … Just sleepovers and what not. But we’ve pretty much narrowed down our parties to family only anyhow.
My children’s birthday is on the 13th and 16th July
They have always shared a party. I baked them a cake each and they had their friends with them. That meant lots of children, luckily most years July was hot so the party was kept outdoors.
Children feel special if you take the time to show them.
Have fun.
Have a 6year old birthday followed by 7yeard old birthday 5 days later and then 3year olds birthday 3 days after that. Each gets birthday cake and present on actual birthday but then all 3 have a joint birthday party 
Have two different parties, one for each of them. The eight year old will feel you haven’t forgotten about her by her having her own party. And that way the babies turning one can have their one year parties to themselves. Only do big parties for “important” birthdays (one, 10, golden birthday, etc). And do smaller get togethers for the others. My son will be turning 8 in October and I am due with girl on October 20th, they will be having separate parties so neither will ever feel left out or overlooked for having the same birth month. Luckily my other son was born in June so no problem there.
Superhero theme. The little one year could be wonder women (one-Der for a cute play on words) then the oldest another character.
I’d skip baby’s 1st altogether. With all the restrictions it’s probably better any way and bubs not gonna remember anyway. Give the 8 yr old a party to remember as so much in her life is changing and I’m sure she’s been feeling a little lost and alone this year with everything at both homes and the lack of school and time with her friends.
Same boat here. Both of mine are November and 4 days apart. I say screw it and do a combo party anyway. My kids didn’t care and loved it. Double the gifts 
…ask the 8 year old her opinion and how she feels. At 8 they are very capable of telling you their perspective on things.
My daughter turned 9 and my son turned one. Their birthdays are a day apart. We just let her pick the theme and it was pretty much her party. We had a smash cake, seperate cakes, and welcomed presents for him but for the most part it was her party because he wasn’t old enough to know the difference. The next year we just did two parties back to back. Hers first then his so she got her own and he got his own.
Do a pumpkin patch birthday. Fun for all ages
Do a joint party day so family and friends come once but split the time and decorations/theme to what each is into. I’d have the 1 year old go first so they can go down for a nap if need be. Then make the second half of the day for the oldest. I also like having a small cake or ice cream for them both on their respective days and maybe one gift each to open that special day from mom and dad
I’d do separate celebrations. Don’t have to be huge just personalized for each kid
Ask her. She might want to share and she might not.
Mine are Jan 14th&22nd…my own is the 9th. So we do favorite dinner and dessert for the person on specific day and they have one cake and ice cream party for family/friends to join. 
I have 2 in October as well as mine. All 1 week apart.
On their birthdays they wake up to the house decorated and their own cake and a gift. I do a big party for the both of them for family and that’s usually where they get their big gifts from us also
My sister and I have 10 days between our birthdays. Then a cousins 3 days before mine. Honesty, we always had shared parties, but with separate cakes. Then did gifts one at a time.
Two different parties. Two different days.
I ask my now 10 year old each year what he wants to do as far as birthday parties cause his younger brother was born 8 years and 4 days after him. Lol.
Definitely keep celebrations separate, and don’t listen to any family members/friends who may ask you to combine them for THEIR convenience if they have to travel. Tell them both of your children are important enough to you to make a big deal for both, and if they don’t agree then that’s on them. As for the older girl, listen to what it is that she wants to do. I know many kids who just want the opportunity to do what they want (within reason, of course). She may not even want a party. Maybe she’d prefer a small family trip or an experience. Just ask her what her best birthday present would be, and do your best to accommodate anything within reason.
Rent a dunk tank! Huge crowd pleaser and you’ll have it all weekend!
My niece bday is January 1st my MIL is the 7th and my daughter is the 11th. We try to do a different wkend for everyone. Even if it means sacrificing a few days until the celebration at least it us their day.
So I had 3 kids in 3 years all within 2 weeks of each other. I do one big family party so I invite all the family to my place. Then on each of their actual birthdays, we do their favorite dinner. If it is a big year like 13, we do a special big party for that one with their friends.
My girls are 14 &13 there birthdays are March 1 and 2. When they where younger together party was amazing now that they are teen. No way is this happening. Two different kids. It gets difficult because I want Both to feel special on there day. But it gets more complicated lol my son was born Jan 13 and my niece just had a baby on his birthday. He was so upset because he dose not want the baby to take all his attention which I understand.
My birthday is 20 days after my twin sister’s, and 5 days after my friends. Mom always did something for the twins, and my friend’s parents did a Halloween party theme for her. Somehow I was lost in the mix, with those birthdays and Halloween. I would give each child their own parties.
Mine are 5 days apart in May and I did a joint birthday party when my baby turned 1. My oldest chose the theme and it turned out great. As long as they want I’ll do a joint party.
Ask HER what she wants. If she wants a separate party then do separate. If she wants a joint. Then do a joint. But make her actual birthday a special one because of her siblings having a bday so close to her bday. Don’t let family and friends tell you to do joint for their convenience. She deserves a special bday
My birthday is October 9th
If she has friends over, I doubt she’ll even pay much attention to younger sibling. Just ask her.
1st birthday- do a Facebook live party for family and friends- they can watch cake smash and you can do trivia questions on the baby’s first food, how many steps they take now, birth weight and hospital and family/friends can interact by typing response- maybe have $5 gift cards as prizes and then put baby in a kiddy pool to play and people watch for a few minutes. My friend did this all for her daughters first birthday. It was neat because everyone felt included and got to see the 1 year old.
8th birthday party- have a drive by parade. You could invite her friends to just drive by and they can pick up a cupcake or goody bag and say hi or drop off gifts. Make the whole day about her!
Really depends on the weather in October but my daughters birthday is in September and last year I rented a bounce house! And had a outdoor party which is so fun! Since yours I’m in October it’s great can make it halloween theme. Me and my brother are 2 days apart so my mom would make us both a party the day in between. Sing to us both and have our friends and family. On our own birthday we usually wouldn’t do anything cuz of the party we were gonna have or we would have a dinner somewhere
My sisters the 19th of June, my brothers 22nd of June & I’m the 23rd 
we’ve done plenty of shared ones the big ones we don’t tho! It’s easier now where older it’s literally 1 dinner for at least 2 of us done in 1 night, it’s been like this my whole life and since my brother was 7 where used to it 
on our actual birthdays every year we always woke up to presents & got to pick the dinner that night, & had our own cake.
Me and my sister were the same way (20th and 24th of October) usually we did something on the 22nd or we would switch between the days each year. Another thing we would do is because my sisters birthday was first she would get the cake and get to open her presents and I would get to open one of my small ones and then on my birthday I wouldnt get cake but I would get to open my presents and my sister would get to open her last one that she wasn’t given on her birthday. So it’s like we got to celebrate twice since it had to be a “shared” day.
My four all have birthdays within 2 weeks of each other, so we have one big party but they all get separate cakes with their own theme. On their actual birthday I make them a homemade cake of their choice and give them gifts from me to make the day special. Everyone else gives gifts at the party.
Make her center of attention, the 1 year old won’t remember
With this virus there is not too much you can do but have a little party at home. I would get two card tables and leave space between them. Decorate each table. One for the baby and the other for what you daughter wants. You can put decorations behind the table and presents under the table. Both birthdays are special. Be sure and let people invited that there are two birthdays going on. Regular Birthday cake for your daughter and a smaller round one for baby.
I did a triple party until last year. In a 13 day span, we have my oldest, my dad, and my youngest. Everyone got their own cake, the kids got their own theme they picked and a table designated to them, and invited their friends. They all got their own birthday song as well. On their actual birthdays they get to choose what we have for supper. The only reason we stopped was because it got to be too many people at our house at one time. My anxiety couldn’t take it anymore.
My daughter has three in September all two years apart. She doesn’t do birthday parties BUT she takes one day where her child decides what they want to do with her and she and that child do it. Then on a different day her husband takes the child and spends the day with them just the two of them. I would suggest your husband to ask her where she would like just the two of them to go for her birthday. I am willing to bet she will enjoy and appreciate it.
We just had this recently.
I have four children and one on the way … my youngest (so far) and oldest were 1yr and 13yrs on the 3rd and 7th of July. We did an extended family dinner on each of the days, and spent their days doing something special for each of them.
We do parties every second year … so next year will be busy!!
My one year old didn’t know any different, and besides … his day was special for him … and my 13yr old was happy with her day as she got to choose where we went and what we had for dinner. I made them each their own cakes, so everyone was happy!
I’m going to have to get used to this cluster-of-birthdays craziness, as my baby is due 4days before my third child’s birthday, too! 
My kids birthdays are 13 days apart, we’ve done joint parties and never had 1 feel less worthy than the other. Its actually really special to be able to share a special day together. My oldest is turning 13 on Sunday and 13 days later my youngest will be 7 this isnthe first year we won’t do something jointly but thats because my oldest got in major trouble and is not having a party.
My two daughters are 5 years and 1 day apart. B-days in Dec. 5th and 6th. We’ve always made them feel special. They each get told happy birthday on their day, they each get their own presents. We do often do a joint present opening and have done joint parties, but that’s out of convenience. They both have invited their own friends to joint parties. I don’t think with of them feels cheated. When we can we try and do one birthday celebration the weekend before, and one the weekend after.
I grew up always sharing my bday (I’m a twin) and never felt like it was less my day. We would just do something we both wanted. And it was always more fun to celebrate together.
My oldest and youngest are 6 yrs and 3 days apart. We almost always celebrated their birthdays on the same day. However, on their actual birthday, I let the day be all about the birthday child. They got to choose the menu for the day; breakfast, lunch and dinner. They opened their gift from mom and dad and they got to pick a kid friendly movie that we sat and watched as a family. I did this will all three of my kids. It’s a tradition my middle child, born 2 days after Christmas, has continued with his children.
Birthday month? That seems a little crazy. I shared my birthday with my brother growing up and never felt jealous or anything. Three of my kids have birthdays two days apart and sometimes they have their party together and sometimes they do different parties. I think you need to talk about how cool it is that they have birthdays so close and focus on fun. For us it is a hectic week having three birthdays in a matter of a week but it just means more cake.
My kids are 3yrs and 1day apart. We use to do them together when they were young, then we split it into family day and fun day. One birthday we did both their birthday cakes and a family dinner (usually the younger childs bday), the other birthday we’d go somewhere fun for their bdays and give them presents. That way they both get something special yet shared on each birthdays… The baby won’t mind sharing a dinner and cake with your 8yo. And vice versa… And when you have more of a party or event for your 8yo on their birthday, I doubt the baby will mind it’s geared more towards the 8yo.
My hubby and daughter share a bday. We usually celebrate my daughters in the day and my hubby’s at night. It’s sort of exhausting but also fun to party all day long!
My sister and I have birthdays 1 week apart. From my personal experience… DO NOT do a combined bday party. But if u do, dont have it land on one of their actually bday. . That happened to me on like my 11th bday. It was my birthday day and I was so mad my sister was opening presents on MY birthday! Lol I can laugh about it now, but I was so pissed for the longest time. Only combined bday we had 
My brother & myself were born 1 year & a week apart. We shared many Birthday parties. That was special in itself. Don’t worry. All will be fine.
Im in the same boat. Our oldest will be 9 on October 4th and our baby is due October 3rd. I’m having a hard time trying to make his bday special with the arrival of his new baby brother being soo close to his bday. I told him we would have an all about him day on his actual bday and his party would have to be a little late this year depending on when the baby is born. It’s going to be tricky planning birthdays
I’m 5 years and 6 days older than my sister. Coming from the children’s viewpoint, I just want to say don’t sweat the small stuff. As long as you give them each thier special days, they will be fine.
And for the record, my fifth birthday party was a good as it gets for a 5 year old. 
Talk to your oldest and see how she feels about having a joint party, with her sibling.
If she doesn’t mind, let the oldest have more say over what happens, the theme and let her help pick the cake.
Then on her actual bday, take her out to dinner, and let her pick the restaurant and let her open a gift or two. Then let her pick out her own cake/cupcakes. Or maybe you can take her to do something special, that is age appropriate for her, that she either gets a say in, or you know she will love it…
My oldest 2 are 2 years and 12 days apart. ( now 25 & 23) Until they started school, we did joint birthdays. Once they started school they had their own parties and were able to invite their friends.
We just have a big party. My dad (29th), me (26th), my oldest (30th), and my middle (27th) are all the same week of October. Even my daughter was due on my middles birthday but she decided to come 7 weeks early so she has her own month now. The boys have never seemed to mind (they’re going to be 5 and 10 this October). They get a costume party with all their friends and have a blast. Weve even done themed costume parties, one year toy story another we did superheros. Let the older pick the theme and just have a party.
My girls are almost exactly 4yrs apart my oldest was September 30th youngest is September 10th for my youngest first birthday I did the parties separate. But as they got older I did double birthday parties and they both thought that was cool. They’re going to be 10 and 6 this year and I’m now to the point I let them decide on what they want to do for their days. Party or just a day with mom and dad and sister. But thank God my kids ain’t picky. But either way they’re happy with the turn outs.
My sister and I always had to share birthday parties. Mine is 2/25 hers is 3/3. I hated it. She was younger and always got her choice. I was older and had to include her in every birthday sleep over. Even if it means smaller parties would do 2 parties.
My oldest two are five years and two weeks apart. I’ve done individual parties for them as well as joint parties. Let your daughter help plan an 8th bday party and then do a small family party for the baby. Neither has to be extravagant
My kids are 1 day apart. We’ve always had joint parties and they both feel special. We do some happy birthday twice and let them each blow out their own candles though.
If you’re co-parenting, and everyone gets along, the two little ones could have a joint first birthday party, and the oldest could have her very own party with friends. The two little ones are not going to remember this year’s party, she will. You could also do a joint party with her and your little one, then on her day make the day ALL about her. Pamper her, nails, hair, (if she’s girlie), dress up, go out to a special place for lunch or dinner in nice clothing, other things that she may like.
My boys are 4 years and 20 days apart. When they turned 1 and 5 we had a big, joint party with family and friends. Otherwise for birthdays we dont do big parties every year. We take birthday child for dinner at their choice and have cake and icecream and open presents with close family. ( grandparents, aunt and uncle) My oldest son and I actually share a birthday too. Do what works for the family
We ha e so many Birthdays in our house lol
We started long time ago
Birthday person gets to pick dinner on their Birthday & we have cake etc.
Kids with Birthdays in the same month have either a combined party or they chose to go do something with 2 friends joining.
Works well. It’s their DAY not an entire month though 
I would do one joined family party, like for all the rellies to come to. Have 2 seperate cakes, and do their birthday songs seperately. Then you could let Ur 8yo have a sleepover or party with her friends. Where it will just be her friends and Ur immediate family to celebrate. Ur 1yo is not even gunna know what the heck is going on, so as long as you do something for the 1yo, I’m sure she won’t care about Ur 8yo having another party.
My oldest son and his dad are 4 days apart and I’ve always celebrated them together. It’s special times like that, that’ll make the best memories that not everyone will get to have
Im not sure what birthday month means but I dont think you should get into the habit of over compensating over little things. If you start something it may set a precedent
Celebrate each day individually and tell her how cool it is that her siblings are born in the same month.
Everyone in my family including my kids are born in one month, everyone is happy.
We have three kids. Bdays are in July, august, September… we usually do one big (mainly close family and friends) party for all three, then on their actual day they get their present from us and to do something special and the whole day is all about them. It works for us
My sis and I are 7 years apart. Our birthday’s are 4 days apart. We did joint cakes/parties. However, coming from a single mom one year I got to chose where we went for dinner on my birthday. While my sis chose her favorite “at home” meal. The next year we changed roles. She picked where we ate out and I chose our “at home” meal.
My children are 4 years apart my oldest is a girl the youngest a boy and their birthdays are a month apart and I did like one lady said on their actual birthday a little cake for them and they opened their presents from me but for the combined party since my oldest was turning 5 and my son 1 I made that party a lil more for her and just let family and friends bring gifts for both.
My Daughters Birthdays are the same month and they wouldn’t agree on a theme. So I did the front room Cinderella and my second room my little pony. Two cakes one bounce house and a whole lot of decorating it gets easier as they get older. Mine are 5 years apart
I have 2 in January my youngest is the 4 and my only daughter is the 8th. They are 13 years apart well almost. But I did a family birthday combined and then took my daughter somewhere special for her bday.
My oldest and my youngest are a day apart. This year I celebrated their birthday on their actualy bday. Next year I plan on doing my son’s the weekend before his bday and my twin girls the weekend after.
My kids were born on October 10th and October 9th, 9 years apart. My daughter loved having a baby brother for her birthday. I always just had separate parties for them. They are 26 and 17 now and we usually do a family celebration all together.
My son is 14 and bday is March 17, his sister is 16 mos old born 10 days before. I keep their parties seperated. Each has their own day, their own party, their own thing. My son doesnt care if they’re together but I still will keep it seperated. He has his special day, meal, familt there for him, gifts, and visa versa. No problem.
My boys are 2 years and exactly 9 days apart, both in January. We just have their birthdays together. We make two cakes and sing happy birthday. My brother and I are 9 years and 4 days apart and we always had separate parties. It depends on the kids.
My baby girl turns 1 in Nov and her birthday falls the day before our godson her cousin… he will be 10… we are throwing her our traditional big 1st birthday but on our invites I am letting everyone know that we are doing a cake and gifts for my godson as well so that way he still gets his day
I suggest you ask your oldest if she has any ideas for what type of party she may want to have. I would also ask her what type of party you should have for your 1 year old. Involve her in the planning and let her pick things to make both occasions special.
So the one year old will have no recollection but the pics from the smash cake are great! The 8 year old though is gonna man be fully engaged! My youngest brother was born the day before my 10th bday. I thought he was the coooest bday present ever. We shared a lot of cakes but the age difference was so vast, there was no sharing parties. By the tile he was old enough for parties, like real friends parties, I had outgrown it.
Me and my sister are 4 year apart almost… when we’re really our birthdays are 3 days apart. So 3 more days and we would be 4 years apart. We always had joined birthday parties.
Have a special dinner for each birthday just mom dad and siblings then have a party for them with friends and family that’s what I do we have 3 birthdays in October
I don’t have an idea but something that happened with my two kids. My boys birthday was April 17 & April 26. After 4 birthdays for the youngest I decided to have them together. The older son is 8 years older than t h e youngest. His B’day is the 17th. We had the party. I especially wanted the youngest to understand the date of his B’day. I began to tell him his B’day on the 26th. He began to tell me h e was six years old. No I told him he had just turned 5. He said no Mom you remember this is my 2nd birthday party. I was five at the last one and I’ll be six at this one…needless to say we never had them together again. We laughed so hard!
You worry too much.Make her special day special.Celebrate her all day long.All her favorites.Food, outing/activity, quality time.presents .cake.
Since when do kids get a birthday month or feel less special? Good thing you did not have triplets.Everyone deserves to be celebrated equally on their special day.1 yr olds and 8 yr olds will be different with many similarities.It gives her a chance to celebrate her sibling which also brings joy.
My sister in law has 2 kids with birthdays days apart and then my son came in sandwiched between the two. We had a huge joint birthday but each kid got their own section custom decorated with their desired theme and their own cake. They loved it and it saved time and a little money.
My 8 and 3 year olds have birthdays 4 days apart. My 8 year olds day is first so I had her birthday a few weeks before her birthday and the other a few weeks after the first year. Then I rented a whole skating rink and they could have friends and it makes my three year old feel special too because there are so many kids. Lol. Usually it’s my 8 year olds friends. I always do it up on their actual days. Special dinner, presents, etc. they have never complained!
My sisters bday is 1 day before mine. She’s 3 yrs 364 days older than me. Hers is June 7th mine is the 8th. Mom always did something together and something small apart. We definitely did not need a whole month to celebrate our bday.
I have a son who’s birthday is Jan 16, the other one is Jan 26. I have always celebrated their birthday together…I just let them pick their own theme. They’re 7 and 5.
My kids bdays are 17 days apart and I always have separate parties for them. They each get to celebrate their own birthdays.
I would think … She will probably enjoy sharing it also ! But she gets a big cake and the baby gets a small cake cause she’s little… At least this year… you don’t want her thinking that her while life … Lol. And just make sure you have understanding kid people at the party so they won’t single one out unless it’s the older one… Just that way it’s not too much stress and you get to do the baby bday also ?? Just a thought
My 14 year old and my 5 year old have bdays 1 day apart. I do a joint party with family and friends (my oldest has a different dad, we still do one party and everyone still attends and has a good time) My girls don’t mind and the family and friends have no issues with it. I will say I had to get creative to fit the wants for both groups. This past bday I had it at a gymnastics complex which allowed the two to enjoy a bday ceremony and then they branched off to play with friends in the areas they were interested in. I just asked them what they wanted, more so the older one because my 5 y.o. is happy with anything and I didn’t want my oldest to feel like she had been pushed aside.
One on one time with JUST the bday girl! U and ur husband take her out do something she loves. Shopping and lunch…the movies whatever shes into. Itll give u both time to talk and bond without tending to her younger siblings for a few hours
My kids were born October 9 and September 20, so at one point I had 2 children under 2 and it was hectic. They get their individual birthdays to celebrate with immediate family but any parties so far have been joint (we told them it’s one big party at a bigger attraction or 2 little less expensive parties but essentially both had the same amount $$ spent) and they’ve said they prefer the joint party so I’m going to go with the flow and not worry about anything quite yet
My oldest will be 11 on Oct 14th and my youngest will be 1 on oct 1st. We are having a joint birthday party in my oldest daughters theme of choice… Paris. The first hour of the party is the family/youngest part and after that is for my oldest work her friends.
My 2 daughters are 4 days apart. We have always celebrated their birthdays together. We have always done it that way and they expect it every year
I would have a party or special day for oldest and then something separate for the 1st birthday on the day with just family. My son was born October 11 2017 and my nephew was born October 10 2008. And my other son was born November 1 2008 and we did everything separate for first birthdays because it’s their special day. We do the ones born in 2008 together because they want to.
I have 2 boys that are close but 4 years apart. When they were younger I would have my older sons party with his friends and then have the family members coming later in the day for the joint party.
I was born on my brothers 8th birthday. We had joint parties. Mom made 2 separate cakes, mine always Donald Duck and my brothers always sports themed. It was at our house. We always had a magician and usually circus themed. I loved those parties
All my kids birthdays are within a couple of weeks in December and January. Everyone gets a weekend. And we celebrate their birthday over that weekend. I usually let them pick dinner and a special dessert as a family on the day of their birthday. Rather than worry over feeling their birthday is overrun, we play up how lucky we are we can all celebrate with our family together.
