? For Those Who Have Birthdays Around Christmas/NYE

[Jacqueline]

HEY!!    i have been MIA but came on to catch up on some threads and to see if this topic was touched- and of course it was!  joey's bday is dec 29, and i was torn on when to have it and worried he will get shitty end of stick with holidays and his bday so close.  i vow to make it super special for him though, every year.  

 

i think im going to have his party the 2nd weekend in jan.  the main issue is WHERE to have his 1st bday. cant have it outside hence its dead winter, cant have it in my house ( i dont think anyway) b/c its not really set up for parties and i feel like the kids will have no where to play and nothing to do.  googled some activity ideas but nothing stuck out...and i also dont want to spend entire time coordinating games kwim?  we thought of having it at a local hall but then its like, wtf are the kids going to do there too, ha ??!!  someone mentioned a place called "the kiddie gym" or something here in nj but they wanted $320 for 90 min party and food wasnt included..??!!  thought that was kinda nuts.  i am waiting for a flyer in the mail but pretty sure im not interested if thats their only offer.  outside summer parties just seem easier to me, ya know?  

 

if anyone has any 1st bday december party ideas let me know!!
