First birthday party

Temp299646250008046 · March 2010

Ok I just had a party for my little one. It was a great party at a nice resturant with a handful of kids.I figured this would be our last adult party for her. The next ones would be a kid friendly places. But to my suprise many people gave clothes and some toys. But I thought that she would have gotten more of monatary gifts for her savings. Am I just being overthinking this or was this common at your child 1st. birthday too?

We got a lot of toys from friends and $/clothes from family members. I guess if I was "expecting" anything, that would have been it.

I don't assume others will build DS's savings for him.

He got probably half and half----some toys and then some savings bonds mainly. Probably more toys than bonds.

I think that's nice. Emerson got toys.

We got a good mix of clothing/toys/money. I honestly was surprised by the money more than anything. Mainly b/c people usually cannot resist all the cute clothes and toys out there!
