Kids’ Birthday Parties

Source

If you have haven’t gathered this by now, I’m not a huge fan of kid birthday parties.  I am hosting a big one later today for my daughter.  In general, I eschew the modern day trend of hosting a travelling petting zoo/hiring a dancing princess clown/renting out Disney World for the day.  But my husband and I long ago agreed that we’d “go all out” for our kids’ first birthdays.  For us, this just means inviting a bunch of people over and buying a ton of pizza, but hey, it feels big to me 😉  I’m happy to celebrate her day and get the classic goofy pics of her smearing cake all over her face.  I’m mostly stoked to try and jam the huge Minnie Mouse bow I bought for the occasion on her mostly bald head (why, oh why does this child STILL not have hair?!).  It will be fun, but when it’s over, count me in Sister Bear’s court.  Since my entire fam decided to be born in early summer, this Mom of the Year is hanging up her birthday hat for another year...horribly messy cake pops and all 😉
