at the moment bugger all because they are too young.

when the eldest turns 3 in February we may do something special (although I will have to cook him a egg & dairy free cake to take to playschool!)

we have a party!

i think that family and friends should come together to celebrate the person who's birthday it is.....it isnt just about getting older, it is about rejoycing and celebrating their life so far.....i love birthdays

got H's on the 1st, and dh's on the 20th of november.....PARTY PARTY!!!

I feel sad on birthdays to be honest, and so does DH. We dont celebrate ours because we both feel like it is another year older and another year passed

if i sat down and thought about getting older id probably poop myself.....but i try very hard to live for the moment and be happy.....im a lucky lucky lady! ive got a wonderful dh and my beautiful little nutters, sorry .....children

My birthday always fell at the end of the school six week holidays and so I never had parties, never got to see my friends on my birthday and always got stuck at home with my Mum and Dad and boring oldies.

My daughter's birthday has fallen on a schoolday for the past few years and she absolutely LOVES it!!! She wears all her badges and generally spends the whole day getting special treatment from her friends and teachers. At the weekend she has her official party... double whammy

I'm not sure I would ever keep her off school just for a birthday. For a start she'd miss a day of learning and it 'could' be something important or interesting... and school finishes at 3.30pm so plenty of time to have a family meal and see the relatives. Not sure keeping a child off school is a 'best bonding idea'.... plenty of other ways and days to bond.

I remember being so excited on my way to school every birthday! Particulary as my birthday is Hallow'een and I had a fancy dress party every year, to which the entire class was alwasy invited, so all anyone talked about pretty much for the whole week was my party - brilliant!

Rub it in why don't you!!!

So while I was sat at home, bored, with the fogeys...... you were the talk of the town

sozzaz!

i always send spud to school, with a bag full of sweets for his class mates and his badges on too! he loves it.....his last birthday was on a monday, he had a house party for his out of school friends on saturday, a dizzikids party on sunday and a meal with us on monday! i love it! i love to make them feel special.....even dh gets the same sort of treatment


riv, i would have LOVED to have a halloween party every year....but like you bells my bday is september the 1st....so i always had bu*ger all

dont be daft hun, you had special quality time with your parents! that sounds like a brilliant birthday to me
