Birthday Party Idea - Create a Family Tradition

• Give a hideous gift. It can be sock with holes, a tacky figurine, or something equally goofy. The important thing is to wrap it beautifully and present it as if it is a treasure. When the next birthday comes around, someone needs to wrap that same item. As the years go by, the gift wrapping process will probably become quite elaborate. People may wrap a light object along with a brick or take a photo of it and wrap the photo.
• Go to the same spot every year for a child's birthday celebration. Whether it is the local zoo or a bench by the water, make sure you stop by that place.
• Create a tradition within a tradition! Always bring a single cupcake with you, light a candle and sing a song at that special location. Taking time to do something special with your child is the most important part of this tradition.
