Birthdays!!

[Momof4]

I always celebrate the children's birthdays with balloons and decorations and I buy them a birthday present. It is a tax deduction you know when you buy a gift for the children.

We always have either cupcakes or a cookie tower with a candle on top for the children to blow out too. I let the older children decorate their cupcakes with icing and toppings and I also ask the older children what they would like for their birthday lunch within reason.

I celebrate all the holidays with decorations and crafts. I have two birthdays this week so it's going to be a busy one for us.

I usually hang a couple of balloons

Then we usually do cupcakes or banana bread for lunch with a candle for anyone 18 mo + to blow out and we take a picture of it for the parents. Usually I put the bday pics in our next newsletter.

We also usually do a birthday craft. Either cut a birthday cake out of paper and let them paint/decorate it or let them paint a party hat or something like that.

I also buy a gift somewhere around $20 and send it home with the child at the end of day along with a card
