So sorry it was an ucky day. I have found that any occasion is a great time to build memories and traditions with my kids even if I have to do it myself. I want my kids to remember my birthday when they are grown up (because likely they will be the only ones) so I try to make them fun now. So my advice is to plan your own party. Even buy yourself a present and let the kids wrap it. Let them help in baking a cake or cookies or whatever they can do. Maybe they can only put icing on grahm crackers - then do it! You really don't need the cake anyway and they will have a great time! What is easiest and the most fun for dinner. My kiddos love hot dogs and macaroni and cheese. So make it into a birthday dinner. Buy party hats or something to make it different. Well, these are my ideas. So sorry it was a bummer day. I know with my kiddos if I make it fun, they have fun too, and all those who didn't get around to it, well, too bad for them. Happy birthday!
