The beginning of the year is a big time for birthdays in our house. Ev and I were born in January and Amelia was born in February. Technically, Sophie's birthday is at the end of March, but she's hit an age where she doesn't care to celebrate it any longer. Apparently, given the ages in our house, the birthday planning goes like this...
My birthday - 4 minutes of planning. I'm old and nobody really cares. So, we go out to dinner and call it a night.
Everett's birthday - 15 minutes of planning. He's a baby and he doesn't care. So, we get a cake and he gets to smash it to bits.
Amelia's birthday - A month and a half of planning. We run through several of our own ideas, scour Pinterest for others, gather info on other friends' parties, and coordinate themes, decorations, and menus.
I'm guessing this will change in the future as Everett gets old enough to really enjoy a party. Which means we'll start planning his around Thanksgiving, completely ignore Meggan's (december), take a break to celebrate Christmas, and then skip my birthday altogether.
