I would like to do birthday traditions for my LO too . . . I love the idea of tying balloons to chairs and noodles for long life! Even though I am not Asian, is it okay if I adopt the noodles tradition? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-birthday-traditions-growing-up#post-676851 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 07:30:11 +0000 Ms.SK 676851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You got to pick where to go out to dinner on your Birthday and your half Birthday.

Once I moved out, my mom would send a party in a box (streamers, themed plates/decorations, etc) and had a cake delivered. Coming from a big family, birthdays were a huge deal when you got to really steal the show. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-birthday-traditions-growing-up#post-675533 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 19:43:41 +0000 Charm54 675533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom would put the birthday flag outside our house, I'd go out to lunch with my grandma, and then have a big family party that night with a giant cookie cake.. A friends party usually followed that weekend. My mom always knew how to make my birthday special! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-birthday-traditions-growing-up#post-675495 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 19:39:15 +0000 Sweet T 675495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always got to pick where we went for our birthday dinner.
