Family Birthdays Made Simple with Traditions

-Get/Make a neutral (i.e. not all pink polka dots, or Thomas the Train, so you don’t need one for the girls and a separate one for the boys, and also so it will still appeal as the children age) reusable Happy Birthday banner that always gets hung up on birthdays.

-Write a letter to the birthday child from Mom and Dad on their birthday.

-Fill out a simple questionnaire with your child about what their current interests and likes are at this age. File this away in the binder/journal for each child.

-Create a tradition that the birthday child always gets a balloon bouquet. I’ve found that Albertsons does great balloon bouquets at a great price.

-Decorate his/her bedroom door.

-Birthday child gets to pick dinner.

Just remember to keep the birthday focused on the child and not on the presents, food, cakes, etc.
