And if it's not, he probably won't remember anyway! :)<BR/><BR/>Good luck!<BR/>Robin<BR/><BR/>p.s.

I will say that I do spend a bit more than I ever thought I would (however nowhere near creating a winter wonderland in my yard) mostly because I pay to have it somewhere. Its worth it to me to pay more to host it somewhere that includes an assistant and someone to clean up after we walk away. On the other hand though, I usually keep it simple but creative. I'm sure you have looked at Nick Jr website but I got some great ideas there when we had Hudson's 4th bday at the zoo. It was a Diego theme and I got some great ideas there. I was able to make/print most of the decorations, goody bags,ect....so the cost wasn't too bad in the end. <BR/><BR/>My biggest issue with bday parties is the goody bag. It seems that everyone tries to make them bigger and better and when it comes time for your own child's party most of us feel pressured to spend a lot in this area. <BR/><BR/>Good luck with the planning and can't wait to see some pictures. I know you'll make it great!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11631568149292474693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18214825.post-25613151247508043852008-07-22T16:59:00.000-05:002008-07-22T16:59:00.000-05:00It sounds like you are making a good decision. Wit...It sounds like you are making a good decision. With Mary Alice, I planned and planned to make her birthdays extra memorable. She doesn't even remember her 4 year old party and barely remembers her 5 year old party. With Major, we've gone the family only route. Maybe next year we will have a friends birthday party? All that to say... You are smart to save the sledding hill and other over the top ideas until Isaac is a little bit older. :)Amber Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09538370847962389704noreply@blogger.com
