Comments on: Where I draw a line in the freaking sand. I will never serve hors d'oeuvres to one year olds. http://blog.erikajurney.com/where-i-draw-a-line-in-the-freaking-sand-i-will-never-serve-hors-doeuvres-to-one-year-olds/ My life in Palo Alto, California.

We had cake, ice cream, and I had some munchy type appetizers (chips and salsa, cheese and crackers, veggies and dip) since my half sister and family were driving through from Florida. For Caitlin, who turns 5 in June, we'll have the first party where we will invite her entire preschool class. We like to keep things simple! I can so relate to your philosophy.

We enjoy celebrating the kids birthdays, and we want the day to be special, but it gets to the point of "where do we go next?". Plus the $$$. My youngest's birthday is July 2nd, so her first and second birthday parties were also excuses for us to have a 4th of July barbeque and invite neighbors and etc. But really, when you start getting into petting zoos (or getting a tent and a dj, like my sil), that's a little much.
