What did you do for your child's first birthday?

well we didnt do much for my sons first birthday... my parents were here and one of my friends came to celebrate with us.. i made him some cup cakes and we assembled his brand new high chair. the weather was nice so we went outside.. i gave him his own cup cake to just dig into and he loved it! like said it wasnt big or anything, but it was nice and memorable (at least for us adults lol).

We decided to have a small birthday celebration at Macdonalds with a few family and friends (They only had MacD's in Samoa - no other places for childrens birthday parties). They provided everything including the cake and the few kids that were there loved it. We didn't have a theme nor did we do any activities. We saved the big party for when he turned 5. That was back in New Zealand at Chipmunks with 20-30 children and 10-15 adults. We had games like pass the parcel and other ones for the kids, they could play as much as they wanted in the playground area and us adults got to sit down and relax and catch up on what was happening in each others lives. It was a fun day and my son loved all his pressies :)

no, It was plain and simple... no gifts no nothing.. It was more of a "Mom and Dad" moment than the babie's.

We had 15-20 people, but they were all family. A couple of the young kids, but not a specific kids party. DS likes Pooh & Tigger, so we had balloons & I made special cakes. But he opened his presents, we ate and the adults talked while the little ones played a little. It was lots of fun for DS. Didn't overwhelm him too much.

i didn't have a big party for my daughter for her first birthday. i wanted to do some special family time. her father and i took her to park safari, where we get to drive around the animal park and feed the animals. they also have a water park and fair rides. so it was a huge day filled with fun things to do. by the time we got home it was just about her bed time. so we had some cake opened her present and then got ready for bed. this has become a tradition now. she loves going to the animal park. she's 3 now and we've been going there for her birthday every year.

My son's first birthday was a rubber duckies theme. he was stuck on ducks at the time. It wasn't a big party we just ahd family over to celebrate with us. We had it at our house so that he could nap if he needed and indeed he did fall asleep during his party even though he had napped a little before. We really didn't do any special activities b/c it was mostly older people there. It was more of a gathering than a party. At the time we didn't know anyone else with children to invite. His second birthday was MUCH more fun. It was The Wiggles as well as his third birthday was. His fourth will be in August and I've been informed he would like The Wiggles again. Thank goodness I kept the decorations. Hopefully for my daughter's first in Nov. it will be a bigger party.

hey!!!! im still single but i have my niece shes cute and a baby gurl. we had a big party on her ist day. the theme was pink as it reflects her gender. then we play some games.had a clown on the party.

I haven't throw a big party, and if i have a child, i bless him happy everyday!

Since a 1 year old really doesn't know what is going on we kept the first birthday small. Just close family in our home. No games or themes, just family celebrating the first year of life.
