My son will be turning 6 tomorrow and i am quite sad because we are out of budget right now as well, i was confined ;( and i wont be able to give him a party.. but i am soooo glad he understand and even my daughter who is 9, tries to make it as jolly as possible. She whispered to me last night she will sing a song for her brother tomorrow! how cute is that.
Might probably make him a cake, i will also take a day off to be with him and will take him to the Aviary park tomorrow.

Sometimes life is not always abundant and easy but we need to find any alternatives to become more happy especially during special days like birthdays and anniversaries.
I hope you son will be happy even no party being held for him. Just explain him what is the reason. I know kids now will understand specially when they see the real situation

Although giving him a party for his birthday will surely makes him happy with all his relatives and friends around, I'm sure he'll understands if you tell him the reason why he can't have a party. He's still young and I know in the years to come or next year it will be different.
Your daughter could make it more memorable for him if she did that, also taking him to an aviary park is a wonderful idea. It's a great bonding moments for your family too with no much expenses.

Sad to say we were not able to bring him to the Aviary because it was raining yesterday
But we were still able to make a small feast for him, with his fave foods..some chorizo which we grilled and a cake!

So sorry to hear about that, it's the opposite here in luzon. The weather is unbearable and the heat is tormenting. Anyway, preparing for his favorite food I think is good enough. Have a nice day.

Happy birthday to your son!
Actually I always think birthday doesn't really need to have grand celebration, in fact, I don't want my son to have that idea to have party or receive gifts on the birthday, hence I didn't tell him about the party, celebration or gifts. To him, the most important about birthday is having a birthday cake! He likes to eat cake, so do I. It'll be really nice if I know how to make a cake for my son, he'll definitely love it. Your son is lucky to have a mother like you. ^_^

so true, all those celebrations are not the most important, what is important is our kid's happiness.

Having a two-year old, one lesson I learned is that children can have no care about money.
My daughter's smile during a well-budgeted birthday party is as big as her smile when we were in our room goofing around. Do not feel bad that you cannot give your son a party. I think it is a good idea that you are going to spend the whole day with him, he will be just as happy.
by the way, I hope you are feeling better now.

Kids i learned are easier to please my friend, when i told him i could not give him a big party, he didn't make a fuss and instead told me that some food will do. It makes my heart swell with love quite honestly when he told me that

Well, first of all my wishes, happy birthday to your son. As early as 6 years have passed since his birth, time is running out!
I'm sorry that you too when you have a tight budget, however do very well in doing anything that would make this child very happy!
Years now I do not count them even more, next to me, turn 38! There are so many!
You also have a daughter of 9, then the age difference between the two brothers is 3 years. Between me and my younger brother instead of years apart, there are 11! Maybe too many. However we try to get along even though it is not easy in the problems that we have.
But after all this discussion, it is not that I want to talk about my problems. I beg your pardon!

Our aim is for them to grow up as respectful and loving individuals, not just to us but to everyone else.
