Maybe others would prefer to have home parties, but feel one must keep up with the Jones. The weekend after Thanksgiving will be a perfect time for a party, before school starts up again. Good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19022044.post-1158690671107745052006-09-19T14:31:00.000-04:002006-09-19T14:31:00.000-04:00i've always had that with my oldest daughter, her ...i've always had that with my oldest daughter, her b'day falling right around thanksgiving...have found that parties the week or so after the holiday usually have the better turnout than parties before. is a busy time of year for sure...hey that zillow site is amazing! had no idea there was a sight like that! nettiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19022044.post-1158601107177863462006-09-18T13:38:00.000-04:002006-09-18T13:38:00.000-04:00I swear we do more running to the kids social even...I swear we do more running to the kids social events then our own too!

I was wondering why. I never heard of not opening presents in front of the guests. Times have changed a lot!

Not necessarily ON the birthdate, but around the birthdate. One year, instead of cake or cupcakes, I made a cup of dirt with worms! A huge hit at my son's birthday party. Let me know if you want the recipe. If it were me, and a child's bday fell on the long Thanksgiving weekend, and I wanted to have a kid party, I would do it early, a week or two before Thanksgiving. And, I've never heard of not seeing the kid open his birthday gifts in front of the guests.BosieLadiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10997051800872568748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19022044.post-1158541935307690342006-09-17T21:12:00.000-04:002006-09-17T21:12:00.000-04:00Yeah, our social lives are primarily driven by our...Yeah, our social lives are primarily driven by our children's activities.<BR/><BR/>Trevor is having his party (bday is actually end of August but it sucks to send out invitations the first week of school when no one know him) next weekend. His choice? It is at the American Museum of Science and Energy, which has hands on projects and stuff. I was so proud he picked that on his own! <BR/><BR/>Chris<BR/><A HREF="http://inanethoughtsandinsaneramblings.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">My Blog</A>Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861482393432330011noreply@blogger.com
