How Do YOU like to Celebrate Your Birthday?
Good Morning, Moms! it's my last birthday being "forty-something"! ....don't really have any plans for the day...just gonna hang with my kids, family dinner tonight (probably take-out, cuz I don't feel like cooking!). This is perfectly fine with me. Just wondering how all of you like to spend your "special day" - is it an extravaganza (LOL) or something more low-key? What would your ideal birthday be like?
Have a great day, ladies! :)

Well my birthday was on tuesday. I share the day with several of my friends and so we had a little get together. Then last night was my present from my son's dad. He got of work early, took O for the night while I went to my friends bachlorette party. Oh those are my FAVORITE kind of parties!!! Before I had my son and all of my friends got married and moved away, we would have these huge parties where we would go all out. I miss them, but I'm ok. I like my small and only with the important people around me :D

Take out with my husband and son and cupcakes!
On the weekend before or after, DH and I go out for a nice dinner. Nothing extravagant, but always a place with no kids menu!

My ideal birthday would be:
1. sleep in
2. have one of my husbands delicious homemade omelets for breakfast
3. drive to the Children's Museum in Richmond and watch the kids play until lunchtime
4. have lunch at Bottoms Up pizza
5. drive home, take a nap
6. have in-laws pick up kids for an overnight
7. go out to dinner with amazing husband--maybe on the water
8. x-rated;)
9. read until the wee hours.
I love to cook, but I guess I don't want to cook on my birthday! I like low-key celebrations, not big parties.

Happy B-day M. V! Mine is Saturday.
Traditionally, I use my birthday as an excuse not to do anything I don't feel like doing.... so basically, yes, I have/had the household cater to my whims for that day. Also since it's so close to the 4th I've usually taken that whole week off from work and we would go camping or on an out of town excursion. Now that I'm an apartment manager I'm not allowed off the property during this time due to rents being due, and that my dears is a real BUMMER for me.
This year I'm excited because my oldest son is coming for a visit from Hawaii and bringing his new g/f for me to meet (he claims she's the ONE). They are going to do some camping while they are here visiting so I'm hoping to squeeze some time in this coming week out in the wilds.
I got my nails done yesterday and getting a hair cut tomorrow... those are my gifts to myself. Hubby doesnt usually get me anything, he'll just cook and cater like a good boy (it's also our anniversary, I married him on my birthday, that was his GIFT to me one year). My mom will probably take me shopping for a new outfit or for something I might want that I wouldnt normally buy for myself.... like expensive wrinkle cream or a set of new high thread count sheets.

Every year I would buy myself a Birthday "outfit" to wear out-- Accessories all the way to undies LOL Skinny dipping in Newport is how it would End most of the time LMAO my BFF's parents lived on Ocean Dr. So we'd go to the beach across the street strip down and swim in the moonlight..........

I like to spend some time doing something fun with my daughter. I like being taken out to dinner. That's about it.
For my 50th, though, we planned way ahead and my daughter (9) and I went to Mexico for four days! We had a fun time.

Some years have been more over the top than others throughout the years.
WE generally hang out, knock about, find some fun to get into and I don't cook! Maybe golf with the fam. Dinner out & cake & ice cream.
I wouldn't consider it an "extravaganza" but it's perfect for me!
Honestly, there's not a thing I want or need! Except being with my family.

For my birthday last year we took a family vacation to great wolf lodge. It was a great birthday weekend although a bit pricey.
