So far I'm considering making her a personal cake every year.

On the night of a birthday, we all go out to dinner - birthday person's choice of restaurant. We also did the noodles at our birthday parties.</p> <p>I'd like to be able to make a cake for our kids' birthdays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-traditions#post-1054205 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 21:41:06 +0000 katsupgirl 1054205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I really like this birthday tradition from everybody loves Raymond. On his birthday at the exact time he was born his mom would give him a birthday kiss on his forehead. Soooo sweet! </p> <p>I want to come up with something but it needs to be easy enough to commit to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-traditions#post-1054190 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 21:37:39 +0000 T-Mom 1054190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always have noodles on our birthday. It's a Chinese tradition since noodles represent longevity. DD turned 5 today and she had noodles too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-traditions#post-1052940 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 15:29:37 +0000 lovehoneybee 1052940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH's family had a special birthday plate that they got to use for that day. DH wants to do the same. I did get a plate this year, but we'll probably invest in a nicer plate once E is old enough to not throw it on the ground and break it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-traditions#post-1052925 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 15:25:52 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1052925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my group of friends we would all scream once the knife hit the platter during the first cut of the cake. I will not share this with my kids because its noisy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-traditions#post-1052705 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 14:36:19 +0000 stargal 1052705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup my mom would make us a special birthday dinner of whatever we wanted :) I noe do that with my son. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-traditions#post-1052703 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 14:36:02 +0000 MapleMoose 1052703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mom always busted out the birthday tablecloth and hung birthday decor, and we got to pick a special dinner that she would make for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-traditions#post-1052697 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 14:34:39 +0000 Smurfette 1052697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mom always put a birthday banner on the front door. She would do our chores for the day, making our bed, clearing the table, and we got to pick what was for dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-traditions#post-1052181 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 14:30:00 +0000 sorrycharlie 1052181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>did you have any birthday traditions growing up? do you plan to start any (or have you already) with your LOs?</p> <p>I think we may start to buy LO a book for each birthday and write her a note in it. when she's older, maybe a special dinner or breakfast..I have some time for that though! </p>
