I just can't understand the extremems some parents go to and the expense. My little ones are happy with a simple cake they pick from the party cake book made by mummy, with family and a couple of friends at home to spend a few hours with eating homemade fairy break and playing out in the backyard. Hope your little sprout has a wonderful birthday : )Miss Silver Spoon Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03508130485737644609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627738320487515350.post-85057387063936462972010-05-16T18:55:44.630+08:002010-05-16T18:55:44.630+08:00I have parties for my girls birthdays, but we keep...I have parties for my girls birthdays, but we keep them small. No jumping castles, farm animals or anything like tha. Pip will be 4 in October. Her friends Mums have been busy planning their kids parties from the start of the year - farm visits, play centres, jumping castles. At dancing I was asked where I'm going to have Pip's party - when I said we'll have it at home like we always do I got looks of sympathy. Oh well! xxlittle lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07734721255156013415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627738320487515350.post-13634846051789027602010-05-16T18:41:23.119+08:002010-05-16T18:41:23.119+08:00I, like you, have been out cast for not having lav...I, like you, have been out cast for not having lavish parties for my 3 kids. All have had birthday celebrations each year but so far it has only been my eldest (7) who has had a party with friends from school. We had it at a local park and played 'old school' party games, like pass the parcel. It went down a treat. When I was growing up we only had a party once at school age and it was only every second year. We always had family birthday celebrations, and I grew up very loved lol.<br />By all accounts you sound like a wonderful mother who will raise well adjusted kids who don't EXPECT everything on a silver platter.<br />Good luck with the party plans - I look forward to hearing how it goes ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
