Childrens Birthdays

Tweet

Just out of curiousity, how much time, effort and creativity does everyone put into thier chilrdrens birthday parties. I love throwing my kids birthday parties, Now that they are old enough they pick the theme and how they want thier cake to look (my mother in law is a cake extrodinaire) I tak the theme they choose and run with it, bringing them in on every bit of it. My favorite is for my daughters 6th birthday she wanted a carnival. ( She actually wanted it for her 5th but my fathers funeral was on her birthday and I was such a mess we had to do something more impromtu.) For a year I bought little prizes ie pencils, highliters mini notebooks, sharpeners, erasers, stickers. She helped decided ongames and how many tickets they were worth. She even helped put the games together. It was a blast and it was a party that we were able to invite her entire class, soccer team family, friends and have a blast. But either way both my kids have very creative lively parties. Does anyone go this extra mile? I only had 2 or 3 birthday parties growing up and I just don't want them having the same feelings i had of resentment.
