I've had a few upset with me because I refuse to send my little kids across town, unaccompanied, to an evening pool party at the Marriott on a school night... you know, what's wrong with me, anyway??!! Fortunately, most people live in reality and understand travel, over-scheduling little kids, last minute changes, etc. <BR/><BR/>We would come by if we could - esp. Honor. She LOVES little ones!Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667481504650498976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4906326566013649084.post-15561987021334569882008-09-23T16:49:00.000-07:002008-09-23T16:49:00.000-07:00The first birthday was fun because we were around ...The first birthday was fun because we were around my family. It was mostly family. Then we had party leftovers at playgroup with all the kids separately. So it was fun and very successful, but this year being overseas it is much more of a pain. <BR/><BR/>I'm not opposed to people bringing gifts, I just don't want them to feel they have to, especially if they were invited at the last minute or their kid doesn't know Ian very well. We have some adults coming and we will try to make it fun no matter what, just is not what I envisioned!Mama Seoulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16013830400454840736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4906326566013649084.post-90228520334072182052008-09-23T05:57:00.000-07:002008-09-23T05:57:00.000-07:00Aaww, I am sorry about Ian's party.

I think most people will bring a little something anyway but maybe you could donate it to charity?Elitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01294923997458681675noreply@blogger.com
