Kids love hot dogs and hamburgers, have a party for a small group of friends, BBQ, have a cake like you suggested, and games and no big messes to clean up afterward OR, go to the park and have everyone play and eat, again no mess and yet a lot of fun. Kids really don't care they just want to have fun and be remembered!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2388592720416223584.post-33515640002980124732013-03-22T22:52:25.891-07:002013-03-22T22:52:25.891-07:00I have 2 boys, April 1st and April 5th (2 years ap...I have 2 boys, April 1st and April 5th (2 years apart). Luckily they are still young enough to not understand the fact that they are sharing a party. As they get older and hit milestone ages like 5, 10, 13 etc then we will do seperate parties, but if its not a milestone then it will be shared, lol. We did the milestones with my step son, even with him I learned that they really dont care once the day is upon them, its just the love of family, friends and of course opening presents and cake that they truly enjoy!

Expectations can get a little too high from everyone involved.<br />Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
