That sounds like a great idea, Ashley! I think parents go way overboard with parties these days. I think kids appreciate it when you keep things simple.

This year I think we will be taking my soon to be 4 yr old to a theme park, which I know he will just love, and maybe cake and ice cream afterwards.

I’m so glad the post made you feel less stressed! I think people put way too much effort into b-day parties for kids. Eating cake and playing with ninja swords works just fine! 🙂 Have a great weekend!

You’re right! There is absolutely no need to go overboard or over think anything. My little boy doesn’t care about all that. All he wants is to eat cake and play with his cousins (preferrably with a ninja sword). Thank you so much!!!

I think that’s a great idea. Maybe I can convince my kids to go to a concert with me instead. 🙂

A mom friend of mine gave me the suggestion of forgoing parties all together (other than as family gatherings) and taking our sons out to an event with just one friend. She feels that it makes birthdays more memorable than doing the same thing year after year with a different theme, or in a different place. The only challenge is getting our son(s) to go for this idea, when they’re in the mindset of parties because that’s what all their friends do.

We would throw a kick butt (and very simple) party! I don’t let my kids eat hotdogs all the time, but who are we kidding? Kids love hotdogs! It was a big hit. And everyone was wearing eye patches on the way out. 🙂

You are a girl after my own heart! If we lived closer, I’d split the hot dog cart with you – my kids love them! PS – Love your favors!
