(I should have thought of this years ago). BUt then, I never had birthday parties for toddlers that involved outsiders. I almost never had birthday parties for kids at all because I don't believe in them.

The birthday present op...Oh, I know what you mean. The birthday present opening is always so chaotic and getting the kid to say thanks while the other kids are trying to steal the toys...oy. But with all the parties we've been to, I think Andrew would be really sad to not open his presents during the party. And holy cow, we have too many toys...I don't know what to do with them all! But then I feel bad giving them away because I remember "Oh, so and so gave us this toy..." but maybe that's just me and one of my weird issues. :)The Nelsen Family:https://www.blogger.com/profile/15063330259057430559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7989676854656500628.post-28203201787473748612009-10-27T06:41:32.096-07:002009-10-27T06:41:32.096-07:00This made me laugh out loud!!!

I so totally agree - it's always so painful to watch a poor kid open their first gift and want to play with it, only to have it taken away and be overwhelmed with 25 more! It seems cruel... love reading your blog Morgan!!Mandy and Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04137870909668187762noreply@blogger.com
