Yes, I think everyone in my house prefers simple parties–if for no other reason than that Mommy’s not as crazy ;)

Merry Christmas to your sweet fam!

And I’m sorry to say there have been years when he feels a little forgotten. We keep his birthday presents separate, celebrating in the afternoon. We also have a special day for him in April and he gets gifts and cake. We also celebrate half birthdays in our family with a half cake, but no gifts!

I love that your little guy got double hats at the hospital :). Ours got a hand-knit Christmas one from one of the nurses and the staff also gave us a little Christmas tree (?!). So I guess there were some perks :).

We have a December 10th, then December 29th (little guy had a Christmas hat and New Year’s hat from the hospital!), then a baby in the summer. I loved it being warmer and not conflicting with a major holiday! After that, our fourth came right after Thanksgiving on 11/26, and all I could think was “No more holiday babies!”. God does have a sense of humor, and this year our fifth was due the day after Thanksgiving. She held off a week, but this now gives us birthdays on 11/26, 12/6, 12/10, and 12/29. Hubby’s is 11/17 and mine 1/16. With Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years, it makes for a VERY busy two months.

I just feel a bit bad now that our daughter who has the summer birthday is the only one getting parties anymore because we’re just too tired and busy during the other season. I’ve debated doing a “half-birthday” party sometime for them in the summer, but just haven’t done it. We’re still figuring out the holiday season birthdays since they just keep coming for us! :)
