Simple Traditions keep Birthday times stress-free. Be choosy about which traditions you wnat to carry on! STOP the traditions that are too stressful, too expensive, or not enJOYable. Work hard to keep the traditions you and your family love going!
One of my favorie birthday traditions is to go out to eat with the family (Birthday boys choice! ) I like this because it keeps me from stressing out about preparing dinner on an already busy day!
Can't wait to see where we are going out to eat tonight!
Monday: OUT to dinner with a special birthday boy!
Tuesday: Tostadas"build your own" by setting out lettuce, tomatoes, grated cheese, taco meat, refried beans. ..
Wednesday: Chicken Pita Sandwiches
Friday: Pizza Night
Saturday: Leftovers
Sunday: Cafe Rio Sweet Pork (Didn't make this last Sunday)
Our Other Simplified Birthday Traditions:
- The Family wakes the birthday boy up with the video camera and the Happy Birthday Song!
- Happy Birthday sign posted in front of the house! It's made out of wood - so I just pull it out of the Birthday Rubbermaid box - add the birthday boy's name and hammer in the ground.
- Decorate with balloons, birthday table cloth, and "special plate"
- Take Pictures in the Birthday Hat!
- Friend Parties every OTHER year - they only last 1 1/2 hours.
- Home-made cards from each family member.
What traditions do you have for birthdays?

OH my! joy!!! I just LOVE this! I am so glad you found me! I am going to have to add you to my list! You have a fabulous blog here! And boy do I need organizing!
Our only tradition so far is dinner for the birthday kid. I cook their favorite meal. If they want to go out that is fine also. I have a double birthday party coming up next month. Josh is turning 4 and Lily will be 2. I can not wait.
Yes, we let the birthday child choose what they want for dinner - and it is always dinner out. :) So everyone enjoys it.
I have one turning 12 this Thursday. Yay~!!
