battlemaiden Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Do they just make cards? Crafts? My dh's birthday is today- Bad mommy for not planning ahead. Thanks. Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathyinNC Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 It's my dh's birthday too! My guys did cards and helped with the cake. The little ones helped wrap his present and the older one did his own gift. (They are 10, 4, and 3.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 DD is very big into picking out flowers or a balloon, and a card. Sometimes she insists there be cake even when the adults don't care. She makes cards frequently; getting to buy one for someone is a special thing to her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfunnybunch Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 My kids draw a picture for Dad. It's personal, it's immediate, and I don't have to drag them through the store saying things like, "Well, honey, I think Daddy already gets to play with your Legos," and " Hmmm, sweetie, an elephant clock is an interesting idea, but I think Daddy already has a clock in his office." (Either that or dh is gifted with Legos or a polka-dotted elephant clock for his birthday. Heh.) Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaT Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I take the younger kids shopping for a small gift, and the bigger ones buy their own. We have a family dinner, go around the table with each person telling what they appreciate about him (we do this for all birthdays around here), then open presents and have cake birthday cake. The girls usually help make the cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TammyinTN Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 When the kids were young we would pick out a gift together. Bake a cake and prepare a special dinner at home. The kids always got a blast out of decorating the cake and the room for dinner. Best meals we ever had! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
