Hello Birthday
Wednesday, February 20, 2008
I know it's a little early to be planning Scout's 1st birthday, (or maybe not - it's just 2 months away!) but I've already picked a theme for the party:
My mom has offered to buy all of the decorations, which is so awesome!! I know Scout will have no recollection of the party, but I want to make the event extra special because I have family coming in from out of town. Besides, I think it's great for friends and family to gather around and celebrate this little person who just completed her very first year of life on this planet! Most importantly, I just like Hello Kitty and want an excuse to plan and decorate :)
DH is not big into parties and holidays. I'm not sure if his family made a big deal out of birthdays or not, but mine did and it's a tradition that I want to hold onto. Some of my fondest memories are from the big birthday parties my parents had for my sister and I. It was always a big deal. We would have pinatas and sometimes clowns and tons of food. All of our friends from school were invited, as well as our grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. It always made me feel so special. I think that it's great for kids to have their own special day like that.

I told myself I wasn't going to do much for mines' 1st birthday - WRONG!! I went all out. And loved every minute of it. The decorations, the food, the 50 people in my small house, the kids running around. It was great. I say go for it all....
that looks fun! i say decorate the way you want now b/c as they older they'll want it their way! :) heehee
I wish I had a big family to justify throwing a big bash, but with only dh's mom in the picture, it would be kinda lame.
So go for it and have a blast!
adorable!!! She and you deserve it!
