Well, Christmas has barely ended and already it seems like every weekend one of my daughters has a birthday party to attend.
Statistically speaking I guess the summer is supposed to be peak birthday time, but compared to the lack of birthdays in December and especially January, the uptick in birthdays feels like a real influx. If past experience is any guide, we'll be very ready for the birthday party calendar to mellow out by the time the school year ends.
It's all good fun, and we love celebrating with our friends and showing them we care. Showing them we care leads to the topic of this post: birthday presents.
What are you getting your child's friends? What are the kids in your world requesting for presents? Do you have any special tips or tricks for preparing for a flood birthday parties? Do you buy the same presents for all the kids in your children's circle, or do you try to find that perfect gift for each child?
I hate to say it, but our family is more last minute than we wish. I've often thought about taking a special trip to the toy store or maybe making a special online mail order to stock up on presents, but as good as these ideas are, I've never quite had that level of follow through.
We'll return to this topic as birthday season gets into full gear, but for now you'll have to excuse me - I have to order some birthday presents for an upcoming party!
