Sounds like a fun birthday! My (almost) 4 year old would totally pick the same meal - well either that or Kraft Mac and cheese. The out of home party will be AWESOME and so so easy! You'll love it, as will the kiddos.<br /><br />Allison, too funny about your grandma and her consistent gifts through the years! My Grandma gave us each $100, but when we got married, then she split it in two - so I get $50, my husband gets fifty, my brother gets fifty, and my sister-in-law gets fifty!LTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-179616855414515172010-07-02T22:37:44.319-05:002010-07-02T22:37:44.319-05:00Bounce house party sounds fun!

I must say the bounce house was my favorite thing on the planet growing up. <br /><br />For some reason I can't remember any birthday traditions (aside from my Grandma, who gave us a giant $50 each birthday -- still to this day, no accounting for inflation or the fact that I am a lawyer) except that my mom always gave the other 2 kids one present on the birthday kid's birthday. I'm not sure why she did it, except that she didn't want the rest of us to feel left out. It was really fun, though!<br /><br />It is so interesting to hear about everyone's family traditions, and the ones they decide to carry forward. Like some other commenters, I may steal some ideas. :)AMBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09417792858949835461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-31013400527198197002010-07-02T22:36:46.678-05:002010-07-02T22:36:46.678-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.AMBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09417792858949835461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-21934495042171604802010-07-02T21:22:07.664-05:002010-07-02T21:22:07.664-05:00I may have to take your traditions.

They went to Europe for my 15th and 16th birthday. Now, a normal teenager would have thought "party time!" but I genuinely missed them (after I had thrown my party of course). So our tradition is going to be: we're NEVER out of town for a birthday. That's their day.<br /><br />Also, you get breakfast in bed. It's a must. :)<br /><br />Thanks for such an uplifting post...so cute.Cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12575822907004951235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-31789739672215808472010-07-02T17:17:56.264-05:002010-07-02T17:17:56.264-05:00Haha Cathy, I'll admit that I have not tried t...Haha Cathy, I'll admit that I have not tried them so I should reserve judgment- and Landon certainly loves them!<br /><br />And Becca I love the cake for breakfast idea- so fun!LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431706155081017734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-31303910811423924112010-07-02T17:07:46.915-05:002010-07-02T17:07:46.915-05:00landon and i have the same birthday! my family als...landon and i have the same birthday! my family also did the pick what you want for dinner thing - although my mom always knew what we wanted so there usually was no requesting necessary. we also still wear birthday hats during the singing of happy birthday. yes, the conical type. and yes, the youngest person in our family turned 18 this year, and we still do it. yay for birthdays!<br /><br />ps, i have to disagree with your opinion of molded chicken products - i currently have a huge bag of mickey nuggets in my freezer, and they're awesome.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16736832764895906777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-67476270585707275062010-07-02T16:55:59.317-05:002010-07-02T16:55:59.317-05:00Instead of Dino Nuggets, what about a fancy dinner...Instead of Dino Nuggets, what about a fancy dinner at McDonalds for a Nugget Happy Meal? Then, you and JP can select something different, and I'm guessing Landon will be thrilled.

My house was in NO condition for guests. :)<br /><br />I love your family's traditions growing up. We do cake for breakfast and dinner and let the kids pick dinner for their birthdays and go out for the adult birthdays. I also need to get Charlie making his bed one of these days.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05156777853779141522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-36241503114236514832010-07-02T15:12:30.961-05:002010-07-02T15:12:30.961-05:00We used to do the dinner thing too!
