[quote=Anonymous]We stopped doing huge party's. The last one we did we had a food drive with it, which was great. We asked people to bring food instead of gifts, because our kiddos already had all the toys they needed. It was a nice party, but way too big and I forgot to pray before we ate. That upset me a lot because I felt personally we had lost the entire point of celebrating their birthdays. We wanted to make it about being thankful to God for each of them and celebrating how precious they are and how God created them so uniquely. The party was so crazy and loud and one kiddo got hurt. Another kiddo was sick and we ended up having to tell everyone after in case their kiddo got sick. I had a bad feeling in my stomach that we were just missing the point! From this point on we have each child chose one friend and a place they want to go. We try to celebrate and thank God for them and make sure we acknowledged how grateful we are. This has been so much better.. and less expensive, more special and way less chaotic. I hope that helps! God bless you!
