That was, until I saw the price: $450 for 8 girls. After I picked my jaw off the floor, I knew why I've always had my kids' parties at home: I'm cheap.<BR/><BR/>A skating party sounds good though!

Automatic reaction I get is:...New Year's Baby here. Automatic reaction I get is: that is so cool. To which I used to reply, "actually, it sucks because it is so close to Christmas and everyone is burnt out and/or hungover." That was how I felt as a child. Now I don't care and throw a birthday/New Year's Eve party for myself every year - a very casual affair. <BR/><BR/>Annabel's party sounds like the best party ever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11830870.post-22241638296049165352008-12-06T13:28:00.000-05:002008-12-06T13:28:00.000-05:00And that's exactly why we did a carousel party - i...And that's exactly why we did a carousel party - it's cheap!!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00604713846429464708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11830870.post-89313232968569853862008-12-06T12:23:00.000-05:002008-12-06T12:23:00.000-05:00awww!!how fun!! i miss little kid birthday parties...awww!!<BR/>how fun!! <BR/><BR/>i miss little kid birthday parties! <BR/><BR/>screaming kids<BR/>paper everywhere<BR/>cake in the hair<BR/><BR/>girls crying cause boys were being mean<BR/>boys crying cause the girls were mean<BR/><BR/>*heavy sigh* <BR/><BR/>memories....kimmykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15527009466610518600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11830870.post-4003810371483803272008-12-06T01:28:00.000-05:002008-12-06T01:28:00.000-05:00$350??

We did the rollerskating party last year, but it only cost us $85 (of course, they didn't have roller limbo...). All of my girls have now been on skates. Not well, but improving!<BR/><BR/>We're having her party tomorrow - a reptile show at our house. They're bringing 20-25 things. She is very excited. Of course, being December and weekends packed, quite a few friends are coming 1/2 way through the party as their first basketball games is tomorrow as well. Einey is missing the game and is just glad her friends will be here, even if they are late.<BR/><BR/>Have a great party!Whirlwindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16865143484526708978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11830870.post-33632794251733625812008-12-05T16:00:00.000-05:002008-12-05T16:00:00.000-05:00I have a Christmas-time birthday too.Number one qu...I have a Christmas-time birthday too.<BR/><BR/>Number one question - "Doesn't that suck? Did you ever feel cheated out of a birthday because of Christmas?"<BR/><BR/>It never really sucked; I have in adulthood shifted my birthday to celebrate in conjunction with New Year's Eve, as then I have a guaranteed celebration!<BR/><BR/>The only thing that really bothered me was not being able to bring in cupcakes to school on my birthday. And getting birthday presents wrapped in Christmas paper (which my family never did).<BR/><BR/>Have fun roller-skating!Kelly Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02716408798104029897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11830870.post-82946168054498232042008-12-05T14:26:00.000-05:002008-12-05T14:26:00.000-05:00Annabel's only done it once.
