You just need to be patient, girl!!! My birthday celebrations are not that exciting, but here goes. We used to combine kids who were close to each other. Adam and Ashley are Dec 10th and 12th...that was a given. Then the 3 middle boys are in May, June, and July. They were also together. Austin never really got parties per se, because when he was in school it was hard, since his birthday was RIGHT at the beginning of the school year. We knew no one at that point. And then the older he got, the more it seemed kind of corny because he was older and didn't know alot of kids his age. So, last year, I decided to do one giant party in August for everyone. I don't know if you've ever watched kids by the dozen, but the Jeub family did a family celebration and I loved the idea! So, we invited everyone we knew and had a huge bash. We had a swimming pool set up for the little kids, with a sprinkler, a huge tub of water balloons, a volleyball net, horseback riding, and water guns. It was hot as all get out, but still fun. People brought food, we provided drinks and cake...a huge cake! Everyone either brought a gift for the kid of the same age as their own, or some even brought gifts for everyone. Some gave gifts to a few, and not all. It all worked out fine, and the kids had a great time with their friends. It was more than the gifts for them...but that part was nice. LOL!
If we did it again, we wouldn't wait until August because it was almost too hot...adults brought chairs and we had shade tents up, but it was still way hot for those who didn't play in the water.
Happy, Michelle?? Huh??? :)

Why yes I am. LOL
I like that idea...and I have a feeling if we add any more kids we will just go this way. As it is, we'll do one party in January...at least until someone complains...and still let the older girls pick what they want to do for their birthdays. Maybe we might start combining them...we'll just have to see.
