My birthday is Dec 21 and my daughter, who will be 2, is Dec 23. Talk about a busy week!! I did half-birthdays a few times as a kid, which was fun, but when I was really young my mom just rolled with the Christmas theme. Santa came to my party!! As I was thinking about Keaton's party this year the idea of an alterna-Santa came to mind...Santa dressed in hot pink with sparkles!? Birthday Santa?! We think she's still scared of Santa so I might save that for next year.

We have put a cute little note on the invitations for her January party...."Santa will have already unloaded his sleigh at Keaton's house so no gifts please." There's no stopping family members from gift-giving at her family party in December...they are well-trained not to wrap them in red and green thanks to my bratty complaints when I was young!

I'm finding that a lot of invitations are too springy themed with flowers and butterflies. It was hard to find something seasonally relevant without it just being polka dots.
