It could be simple Happy Birthday greetings or memories they had of her or with her. And if they had any pictures they could part with, please send. I took them and made two huge scrapbooks with their pictures and letters as well as mine. (One wouldn't hold them all as there were around 100 replies.) Then I gave them to her at a special dinner with her best friend. She erupted in tears and spent days reading all the letters. I think it was her favorite gift ever.srphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11751987787364198318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1154382860873164672006-07-31T17:54:00.000-04:002006-07-31T17:54:00.000-04:00We've always been a small unit for the most part, ...We've always been a small unit for the most part, not alot of big family celebrations anymore, but I still wait till he's asleep and fill the living room with balloons and happy birthday banners.

I wish she could stay 2.5 for us just a little longer.

Do you agree?<BR/><BR/>To mark my children's birthdays I take black and white photos. We select the best of the bunch and frame it for our hallway "gallery." It's become a neat way to mark their grow in the unique way black and white photos tends to capture the little minute details.<BR/><BR/>Oh and we go a little nutty with the big day - party (on or near), special dinner, family day trip - whatever we can pull off.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01859698145917146528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1154359778941353712006-07-31T11:29:00.000-04:002006-07-31T11:29:00.000-04:00I always try to make everyones birthday special.

I especially enjoy embarassing them at restaurants, etc. I hold birthdays very sacred and am very impatient with people that send e-cards or put little effort into celebrating a loved one's birthday. To me, a birthday is the most special day of the year for someone and from waking up to going to sleep, it should be absolutely perfect, if possible. And even though my kids are teens, I still try and surprise them with gifts that are unexpected. <BR/><BR/>I'm a total, unadulterated birthday geek! <BR/><BR/>Happy birthday Noah!!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08377271954635491241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1154356963576669412006-07-31T10:42:00.000-04:002006-07-31T10:42:00.000-04:00Every child enjoys a party, cake, and presents, bu...Every child enjoys a party, cake, and presents, but when all is said and done, I think showing a child what a loving parent does is the greatest gift. Not only will the child grow up feeling secure and blossom, but he or she will lead by your example with their children.<BR/><BR/>Laughter is good, too. A child can have too much sugar, but never too much laughter.<BR/><BR/>Maybe even a new Bananarama CD, too.Jefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11543099078178831250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1154352892644690642006-07-31T09:34:00.000-04:002006-07-31T09:34:00.000-04:00It is tough isn't it.

I write their names on the cookie with chocolate frosting.<BR/><BR/>We've tried other celebrations (big parties, outings, etc.,) but for some reason, the kids like the big cookie and the at-home party with family the best. :)Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09985199735578059509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1154322888068531062006-07-31T01:14:00.000-04:002006-07-31T01:14:00.000-04:00It was Drew's birthday today too.
