Well it is that time again...the mail starts coming each day. Birthday Club offers we signed up for throughout the year and forgot all about. Birthday advertisements and discount tickets/certificates to help plan your "big day." We are lucky enough to have two children's birthday's one week apart, so it is especially noticeable right now. Joshua will be 4 in Oct and is still very easy to plan for. It is all about the cake. He picks the character and I do the shopping or planning to try to make the cake. Ashlyn though is in her 3rd year of "friend parties". You know where you have to invite everyone she knows and have all the crafts, games, and planning. We are just in the beginning stages of trying to keep this is a minimum. We are thinking of doing a Rainbow theme this year at Grandma Sue's house (to enable a bigger guest list). We are thinking of having each girl wear their favorite bright color for a fun photo, playing an m&m scavenger hunt and eating a variety of colored food! We'll keep you posted on if that all happens that way. She will share her "family party" with Joshua the day after her rainbow party I think which works out great for everyone else. One meal, two cakes, and presents. I'll try to take pictures this year (somehow I skipped this last year so I found out when I was scrapbooking the other day). Any party ideas are greatly welcomed.....
