What a busy couple of weeks it’s been!! There was a small birthday party for my 3 year old grandson and then a 2 week family vacation at the b
each in Malibu. Fabulous time!!
Most of the time we try to have small birthdays for the kids unless they are celebrating a milestone age. Birthday parties are usually given at ages 1, 5, 10, 13, 16, 18, 21… depending on if they are still cool enough to hang out with Mom and Dad as they get older!!! I wonder… does anyone else do this? It just seems like too much to have major parties for every birthday when you have several kids or grandkids! What are your birthday traditions???
This was an ‘off’ year so it was just family for dinner and cake. My daughter, Kelly, decided to do Nacho’s on the Table for the birthday party and what a hit it was!! No recipe is needed… and there is so much fun to be had by all!
Start by buying a couple of those disposable plastic table cloths and a black magic marker… each guest chooses a seat and writes what they like on their nachos on the table cloth.
Then the hostess pours corn chips down the center of the table and starts adding the toppings. As you go down the table you only top the chips with what the person at that seat likes.
Everyone eats with their hands and it’s such a fun way to have a dinner!! The other grandkids are already asking if they can do this for their birthdays :). Oh…. and clean up is so simple… just pick up the corners of the table cloth… wrap up… and throw away!! No muss… no fuss! I think this might become a new birthday tradition for us! When you try this… and you know you will :)… use your imagination and ENJOY!!!
Happy Birthday Mason!!
