I'm already planing Lucas's birthday! I can't believe my baby will be three!! We're doing a Mickey party it's the first year all the cousins are not here :( but I think we've made a few friends that we will invite. The long winter makes me crazy so I start planing now to keep me sane ;)

    DH will be away for DD's birthday this year, and it's in the same week as my best friends wedding back home, so I'll likely drive to my parents and have a party with all family (last year was friends). Not sure on theme yet, but I'll also be planning the brides bachelorette! I love party planning! :)

    DD saw a barbie cake at target about a month or two ago and talks about it alot so we are doing barbie this year! Family and friends since we just did family last year and had some friends mention it. Other than that, not much planned. I'll be going to look up barbie party on pinterest now ;)

    I haven't even thought about themes. Mickey and Barbie both sound cute!

    We've done pretty low-key parties for far and I think we'll keep it small again.
    DD already said she wants an orange cake with green coconut frosting. So random. She does love coconut. The flavors might be okay but I can't visualize it being attractive. I'll wait and see if she brings it up again.

    My due date for DD2 is 4 days before DD1's birthday. I'm hoping I'm not in the hospital for DD1's birthday!
    Does anyone have kids with close birthdays? Or have a birthday close to your sibling? I want to make sure they each feel like they have a special day.

    Hey! I don't post very often, but I like to show up randomly and comment when I feel relevant :) Anyway, I'm planning DS' Birthday already too and everyone I told to "save the date!" so far has laughed at me... I was not surprised haha

    Also, to @jil1210, DS2 was born on DS1 second birthday! He was due 6 days after his birthday, but came a little early. We had chosen to have DS1's birthday party in the beginning of May, to be safe, anyway, so that was done already. I was in early labor the night before his birthday and tried to deny it, while I worked on icing his Barney cake. But, by the morning of his birthday, I was struggling through bad contractions while he opened some presents with his grandparents. We finally had to head to the hospital on the afternoon of his birthday and his brother was born within an hour of getting there. He was able to come visit and meet his brother that evening, but it was kind of sad to not see him after that for a few days after his birthday.

    I definitely felt guilty at the time, but he will have lots of birthdays and I know he already doesn't remember it. And I plan on telling him that I already gave him the best birthday present ever - a brother!

    Anyway, I don't have any wisdom on the issue yet, but I have the same concerns about making them both feel special. I think by the time they each have their own friends and own parties, they won't mind. But, I already feel a little bad that DS1 had his own special first birthday with lots of relatives and now DS2 is basically just getting added on to DS1 party at a bounce place where he isn't even old enough to play yet :-/

    Thanks @Esbi25‌ I'm sure birthday overlap happens all the time! I've never experienced it but we'll figure it out. :)

    Adalyn's birthday is Wednesday, but we won't really do a party. I think we might do a big party in May for her Un-Birthday. Maybe My Little Pony, Froze , or Hello Kitty, depending on how the spirits move her as we get closer. :)

    I'm not really working on specifics yet but I'm trying to figure out when it will be. My sister's little girl has her birthday on the 20th and Aaron's is the 25th. My sister is divorced so she has to plan around her ex's plans. On top of that my SIL is in a wedding on the 30th.
    We don't really go over the top on decorations though anyway. I'll probably just ask Aaron what he wants on his cake and call it a day. It will probably end up being Daniel Tiger or Wallykazam.
