My
little guy just turned four years-old and we celebrated this occasion with a
very low key family only party. We took him to his favorite place to play. Let
him run around to his little heart’s content and then headed home for some
yummy pizza, rainbow cupcakes, and presents. It was perfect!
Normally
I go a little overboard with birthdays for my kids. I get on Pinterest and get
my craftiness on. I glue and sew and staple like crazy until I have the perfect
party… or what I think of as hip and happening party. Not this year. William
was scheduled for surgery following his birthday weekend and I was not willing
to take on a big huge event right before his surgery.
Now
that the birthday celebration is over and done with I have to say it was a
blessing to be able to have a low key birthday party. My son had a blast and
did not miss the party decorations, favors, or signs one bit. He had fun
playing with family and being a four year old boy. Maybe I will take it easy on
myself for the next birthday celebration too!
Do
you go overboard for birthdays?
