So like I said yesterday my son's first birthday is a month away and I've started like ordering stuff and I don't really think like we're really gonna have a party per se because sadly I have no family to invite really and I don't really have any friends either so we're not gonna do a big party or anything but I'm still gonna decorate the living crap out of our apartment because you know I'm just really excited he's going to have a little party with us but I'm doing like a hey bear sensory theme which doesn't really exist so I'm making a lot of the stuff and it's really exciting and fun and yeah so what were your babies first birthday party Siems did you have a party why or why not do you still decorate like did you do the cake smash and pictures and all of that just tell me all the details about your kids first birthday parties if they've already had it

We also took him out to What is it called build a bear and let him get his birthday there cause he pay their age so that is also something we could do because there are there are only be a dollars and start turning one so I think that that would be something that would be really fun to do

Good question. So we celebrated my son's first birthday party with a cookout at my mother-in-law's house. He was actually the only kid there. I mean, I'm a firm believer that the first birthday really is just for the parents to celebrate that first year of childhood with having a baby that's approaching the toddler stages. stages so personally there's no need to go all out.

For my baby's first birthday I threw a birthday party and my baby was born in the summer so around August and we had a pool party we invited some friends family and we did the keg swimming and had a little barbecue nothing major but I got a beautiful mermaid cake and goodie bags and they got her lotta presents so she's only one we didn't go super out but this year we are for her second

So my son, he was our first and he was the first grandchild too. So his first birthday was a little overboard. I also have a huge family who was in town but they're like you know absent now but for the first birthday we had like I think like 75 people. It was ridiculous. It was a Mickey Mouse theme so that was really cute because my son was obsessed to know

my daughter, we have to be super careful because she's born in July, same with me. So like we can't go outside really because it's 120 degrees and I don't really want to have like a whole bunch of little toddlers around a big open audio water. It's just not my favorite thing. For my daughter's first birthday, we ended up renting out like the Jim Buri kind of place and had like an hour and a half birthday party and that was really fun. It was smaller and but like like, definitely.

Definitely went way overboard for our son and kept it pretty minimal for our daughter Because yeah, all that big stuff doesn't actually matter We had so much going on that like I wasn't even able to like enjoy the party because I was just chilling with my son the whole time Not that like that wasn't enjoyable, but you know what I mean It's like we do all of this stuff for a short period of time. So I'm with you on the small birthdays.
