DS#1 turned four yesterday, and we are going to Disney in a few weeks so that's his party/present. We are taking him to be turned into a pirate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4th-birthday-what-arewere-your-plans-for-lo#post-2471314 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 13:39:14 +0000 chopsuey 2471314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we had her 4th at home with just family friends. we rented a bounce house and served pizza, mini croissant sandwiches, cfa nuggets and fruit/veggies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4th-birthday-what-arewere-your-plans-for-lo#post-2471308 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 13:36:23 +0000 fancyfunction 2471308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her 4th isn't until Dec but I want to throw her first "friends" party instead of just family. I'm thinking of doing a skating party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4th-birthday-what-arewere-your-plans-for-lo#post-2471300 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 13:34:13 +0000 T-Mom 2471300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we had a family party at home that year for DD. I was trying to do the "big party every other year" thing. Sadly that has not worked since then! My DS had a bounce house party for 4 yr. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4th-birthday-what-arewere-your-plans-for-lo#post-2471226 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 12:39:24 +0000 winniebee 2471226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's our first year in our new house and we haven't had any housewarming party or anything, so we'll have a big bbq / pool party for T's 4th bday in May at our house. Hoping that the weather cooperates!!! It won't be on his actual birthday (which falls on a Wednesday). We'll do it the following Saturday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4th-birthday-what-arewere-your-plans-for-lo#post-2471223 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 12:38:08 +0000 regberadaisy 2471223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: yes!

Our closest is like 2 full hours away. </p> <p>And I have no idea what to do this year. I'm kind of in the "can't we just count the preschool party as his real party and take him to Legoland" frame of mind, but my husband insists he should have a full party. I was tossing around the idea of a bowling party, but will a group of 4 year olds be able to bowl together? I have no idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4th-birthday-what-arewere-your-plans-for-lo#post-2471208 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 12:26:20 +0000 Freckles 2471208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: What did you guys do at your house? I was thinking about doing something small at the house but no idea what we would do (it will still be too cold to do anything outside).</p> <p>@regberadaisy: That sounds like a lot of fun! I like the idea of doing something with her on the day of too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4th-birthday-what-arewere-your-plans-for-lo#post-2471179 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 12:13:52 +0000 regberadaisy 2471179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 hasn't had a legit party since her first so we're throwing her first friend party at the zoo! She loves animals, so, I'm super stoked!!!</p> <p>On the day of we'll be taking the day off work and doing something as a family. Leaning towards an indoor water park since it will still be chilly here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4th-birthday-what-arewere-your-plans-for-lo#post-2471172 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 12:07:52 +0000 Mamaof2 2471172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had her 1st friend party - invited 4 friends from DCP and had a small party at the house - it was perfect!</p> <p>No local family but we also did cake and presents on her actual birthday </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4th-birthday-what-arewere-your-plans-for-lo#post-2471169 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 12:03:38 +0000 Freckles 2471169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What are you planning on doing for your LO's 4th birthday party?
