Just cake and ice cream for the food (this goes against each bone in my body since I come from a long line of Birthday Party Lovers. But, it has to be done!), a few party games and presents.

How Birthdays Brain Really Works

More importantly, truthfully, I have spent a bit of time checking out gift guides (like this jeannie’s gift guide here), as if I can’t have a large party, then I wish to be sure that I get them a present that they’ll both love. I just wish to be sure that they both have fun on their birthday though (even without a large party).

When I went to a friend’s son’s birthday party the kids had quite plenty of fun learning with songs, as they did a little educational sing along applying youtube videos. I might try this as the kids had plenty of fun, and it was free.

Getting the Most From Birthdays Brain

Remember that for the cake, I signed up with the Price Chopper Baby Club and am therefore getting a free first birthday cake for Lincoln. It’s an 8 inch round-probably not enough to feed 30+ people, huh?

So, I thought I’d just order another cake. Until I found out it will cost near $50.

Tips That Make a Difference

As a rule, which leaves making my own. I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t consider myself an Ace of Cakes.

So, I was happy to discover this fire truck cake recipe from Family Fun that I think that even I, a self-proclaimed cake-making novice, can actually swing. Isn’t it cute?

Common Mistakes to Avoid

In short, i’ll let you know how it goes! ***In other Birthday News*** If you have kids under 10, don’t forget to sign your kids up for the Toys R Us Birthday Club. We received a $3 coupon (with which Griffin bought a Handy Manny Wallet) and a coupon for a free wooden Thomas train.

Plus they gave Griffin a balloon and a birthday crown. We registered the boys at at chuckecheese.com and received some excellent coupons for Griffin’s little party we had there last week.

Is Birthdays Brain Worth It?

Worth noting: they also sent a coupon for 20 free tokens for his birthday. (We won’t mention who used most of these coupons, but his name starts with W and rhymes with less!) Don’t forget to register your birthday at coldstonecreamery.com. You’ll get a coupon for a free sundae on your birthday!

If you have a birthday in August, stop by Domino’s pizza on your birthday to receive a free lava crunch cake. More details are here.
