Happy 6th Birthday!

Recently our biggest boy turned 6. What a day! I always begin with the intention of making birthday celebrations in our house special but small. As the day draws closer and I list all I have planned for the birthday person in question, my husband smiles and rolls his eyes.

This year Son #1 had a school party prior to his birthday day (his best friend was to be away on THE day so we held it a few days earlier), a birthday lunch with his cousins and good friends, and a dinner party with other family members. And to end the day, some out-of-town friends came to stay. Result: one very happy and tired 6 year old!

As for presents, I made Son #1 a door hanging (ok, so I may have finished early hours birthday morning but I don't think he noticed the smell of paint). He is quite the comedian and so I thought a knock-knock joke for his bedroom door would go down a treat. I was right! He loved it!

How do you celebrate birthdays in your house?
