BIRTHDAY PLANNING

It’s that time of year!  It’s time to start planning for our rush of birthdays!  We have two big kiddos with birthday’s in November, one in December, and now one in January.  So that means that this not so always crafty Mama needs to start to plan her annual birthday rush.

Our oldest two kiddos both have birthdays in November and this year it will be fairly “easy”.  All that they have requested is some time in the woods.  So, I think that we will head out to a friend’s ranch and spend the day riding in the buggy or on horseback enjoying the cattle and wildlife there.  This year they are easy, nothing overtly stressful or fancy in the birthday planning here. The only thing is that they both want different cakes, which of course we will be more than happy to oblige them with!

The next birthday is in December with a wonderful two year old who will be turning three.  This year we are having a Mickey Mouse theme party.  Then we have a baby turning one in January.  I had thought of doing a little man party, but we opted on a Little Monster theme since we had a lot of those party supplies.  These two parties are the ones that I get to be crafty with, and I am having tons of fun pursing Google and Pintrest for ideas.  Oh Mama’s, what did we do BEFORE Pintrest?  HA!

So, there you have it.  We are heading into the fun time of four birthdays in three months!  This busy and crazy Mama is in birthday party fun and planning mode, and I’m loving it!  YAY for birthdays and being able to celebrate the blessing of my amazing kids!
