I used to think people who celebrated their birthday week were silly but in our house, it's become pretty common. Since we are only having birthday parties for 1,5,10 and 16 year birthdays, we let the birthday kid pick their activity to do on the other years. Maddie chose to go to a Reds Game as soon as we gave her the open choice. We asked her where she wanted to eat and she said at the stadium so we ate at the Champions club which has a great view of the field. Maddie loved every minute of it.
Since her birthday was on a Sunday, we spend Thursday at the local "Bounce House Land" as the girls call it. Leap Frogs is in Miamisburg and has 2 rooms of inflatable bounce houses. I went with Sally and her son Will who had a birthday the week before so we had a double birthday celebration. There wasn't much for the babies to do but they were good sports for Maddie and Will.
Then, on Friday, Maddie spent the day with my grandparents who helped her bake cupcakes and a doll cake that my Grandma used to do when I was a kid.
Saturday we had a birthday bonfire with Maddie's cousins and a couple other friends. She passed out the cupcakes which had a balloon in the middle. The kids loved eating smores and running around the backyard.
It was a great weekend and Maddie had such a great time! She got some great presents and I think every single thing she ever asked for! Kalee was also a great sport with watching Maddie open her presents and never once asked "Where's mine?". I hope it will be the same when the roles reverse in January for Kalee's birthday.
