IDEAS???
I am not real sure if this is really blog worthy, but I have a question. Does anyone have any fun family traditions, or different things that you do for birthday's besides the normal gift? I was just sitting down yesterday and realized what a joke birthday's are. Once you get married and your siblings are married you are now doubling that birthday fun. It's not that I mind shopping for others, but of course they do not know what they want. I always seem to find myself standing in front of the gift card center at Harmon's, and now your three dollar milk trip now seventy nine dollars. WOW three people have birthdays this month. With that in mind I just thought we really spend lots on birthday, and we usually don't get to spend time with them. I thought maybe if we just get together and do one big birthday every year with like a BBQ or something fun would be much more enjoyable. So I am looking for ideas do any of you do anything fun? I am open for anything I am sure someones has some idea.

I totally hear ya on this one! Thats the good thing about living out of state and being completely POOR right now (haha) no worries that we can't buy a bday presents for everyone because they all know we have no money! BUT I do know that back when were were in UT Steve's family had a BBQ/dinner every other month to celebrate everyone's bday that had taken place during that time. Cake and iceream and good food to celebrate-and all it took was a crisp 5 dollar bill to make the person happy! That way you left with some cash from everyone-- to buy what you really want...and really 5 bucks isn't a whole lot when it is every other month or so! Ok that was really long...but hopefully it helped! :)
Our family out here in NC gets together once a month and celebrate all those birthdays in the month. Sometimes we just do dessret and other times we have a meal and we play games. We usually do exchange presents and yes it adds up fast, but we still get to spend the time together. (you could still do something similar but without gifts)
I found my blog layout at http://www.leeloublogs.blogspot.com/ and they have tonz of cute stuff and easy instructions on how to change your blog.

I hear ya....we need to stop spending so much money, maybe a BBQ at moms on the months that have birthdays and keep the gift under $10 then you will have to get creative with your thinking.
