Tuesday's Tots and Wee Ones: "Tiny" Celebrations

Hi Friends,

We hope your week is off to a nice start!

From Train Wreck Mommy: As you know from yesterday, we are focusing on (birthday) celebrations this week.  Do your kids have any birthday celebrations on the calendar they will be attending soon?  Or how do you celebrate in your family?  Do you go all out?

What about for your little ones?  Do you go all out for them too?  What do their birthdays and celebrations mean to you?

From Mad Max: Mommy (and Dada) went all out for my 1st Birthday Celebration at the Houston Zoo. She said the milestone (and that they "made it") through the first year was really important to her.  Besides the fact that (as Mommy says), who doesn't love throwing a great party and having an excuse to get crafty (DIY)?  (I think Mommy was so caught up in everything she didn't finish the blogs about my birthday, but you can at least read about my 1st Birthday details.  Actually, it's never too late ... we'll plan to post more blogs about it soon since we took so many pics!)

Now we are (gasp, as she would say) gearing up for my 2nd Birthday Celebration.  It may be scaled back a bit (which would equal smaller guest list and less money spent), but Mommy said the focus now is mostly on me, Mad Max, having a great time (and a memorable one for my Train Wreck parents and guests).

So another main question for you ... are there any blogs / sites / Etsy Shops / Pinners you love to get celebration ideas from?  How do you prepare?  We would love to hear your ideas.

There are several that we enjoy, but two quickly come to mind: Hostess with the Mostess and One Charming Party.  Do you have others to share?

Mommy got lots of help from Gramby and Mimi with the food (both of them) and photo banner (Gramby).

Don't you love the name banner Gramby made?  And Mommy did a lot of DIY for the party too.

Finally ... stay tuned!  We have more birthdays to share this week!  And now Mommy is inspired to finish my birthday blogs as she gears up for my 2nd Birthday Celebration.
