My family took me out to dinner one night and then DH and I had a date night. It was nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-to-celebrate-your-birthday-1#post-1223077 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 06:45:15 +0000 nana87 1223077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually like to have a low-key dinner party at home (not always sit down--it's kind of more fun when we put food out on the table and people mill around) for my bday. this year is my 30th though so i think we're going out--dh is supposed to organize! but since I'm pregnant we can't do the normal go out to a bar thing--we might go somewhere that has food and something like bowling or minigolf or shuffleboard so im not just awkwardly watching other people drink, haha. but i don't know...for dh's 30th, i organized this huge dinner and bar thing and invited a bunch of his out of town friends in to stay with us, I feel like my 30th is going to be much quieter in comparison! I'd love to do a quick babymoon just with dh, like somewhere warm and relaxing, but my bday weekend is smack between work trips, and we aren't going to have time for a fun vacation at all before baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-to-celebrate-your-birthday-1#post-1223028 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 03:06:25 +0000 MrsStar 1223028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine are always low key - each year my mum, dh (and now lo) go to a resturant for dinner together. This year I went out with some friends for cocktails the night after which was pretty cool but only really do dinner usually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-to-celebrate-your-birthday-1#post-1223022 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 02:53:28 +0000 lamariniere 1223022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like low-key birthdays (mine is this week!). </p> <p>I'm going to make my own birthday cake, and spend time with my boys. If I weren't pregnant, I would have a nice bottle of champagne to go with the cake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-to-celebrate-your-birthday-1#post-1222824 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 21:36:28 +0000 sarac 1222824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm turning 30 on tuesday! Today, my mother in law babysat and my husband and I went out to brunch. Tomorrow night I'm going to dinner and a Big Freedia concert with my girlfriends (so excited!). Then the day after thanksgiving my family is going to have a little cake for me so that I can celebrate all with them. </p> <p>I prefer a few little celebrations to one big one - total introvert! For my birthday gift, my husband is detailing our car for me. So excited about that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-to-celebrate-your-birthday-1#post-1222750 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 21:01:56 +0000 betsyboop 1222750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Happy Birthday!<br /> I prefer quiet birthdays, usually lunch out with LO and then an adults' dinner out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-to-celebrate-your-birthday-1#post-1222720 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 20:44:37 +0000 sandy 1222720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: hope you had a relaxing and fun birthday weekend!</p> <p>I love getting a babysitter and having a date night at with a nice dinner and drinks (obviously no drinks if I'm pregnant on my birthday) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-to-celebrate-your-birthday-1#post-1222535 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 19:08:22 +0000 LalaYes 1222535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love brunch!

But I usually work or DH works so I spend it alone. I am not one for planning my own party neither! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-to-celebrate-your-birthday-1#post-1222400 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 17:45:52 +0000 ILoveLettie 1222400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like low-key celebrations. My birthday this year will also be my first mother's day, so I'm hoping for a nice brunch out somewhere family-friendly with mimosas (I'll be able to drink by that point, hooray!) with my husband and our little one. And a bubble bath either before or after! That sounds like the perfect day for introverted me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-to-celebrate-your-birthday-1#post-1222390 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 17:36:56 +0000 luckypenny 1222390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like having a big breakfast with all the fixins - pancakes, fruit, eggs, bacon, grits... And just have a relaxing day with family :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-to-celebrate-your-birthday-1#post-1222379 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 17:30:45 +0000 cmomma17 1222379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: that's really cool! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-to-celebrate-your-birthday-1#post-1222378 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 17:30:21 +0000 cmomma17 1222378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With chocolate cake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-to-celebrate-your-birthday-1#post-1222373 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 17:25:33 +0000 LovelyPlum 1222373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: happy birthday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-to-celebrate-your-birthday-1#post-1222371 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 17:25:02 +0000 LovelyPlum 1222371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: what a great tradition!</p> <p>We don't do much for birthdays usually.

Lots of margaritas. :)</p> <p>Now, just hanging out at home and eating pizza, and getting permission from DH to buy an expensive pair of shoes. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-to-celebrate-your-birthday-1#post-1221873 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 09:44:54 +0000 regberadaisy 1221873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have decided from now on it'll just be DH, I and baby on our actual birthdays. Celebrating with family will be dinner out. Last year on MY birthday I ended up helping DH made my birthday dinner bc no one else helped him. So yeah, on my birthday I cooked and cleaned for others. No more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-to-celebrate-your-birthday-1#post-1221843 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 09:11:40 +0000 Kimberlybee 1221843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to celebrate with multiple groups of friends separately for lunch or dinner since not all of them know each other well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-to-celebrate-your-birthday-1#post-1221839 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 09:07:36 +0000 MapleMoose 1221839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mom always makes me a home cooked meal of my choice so we go there for dinner and relatives come over. Then DH takes me out another time. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-to-celebrate-your-birthday-1#post-1221833 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 09:04:26 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1221833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have always liked to have a big, birthday weekend and celebrate with family and friends. But, due to being pregnant and all of us recovering from colds, we're just taking it easy, going to brunch and relaxing. </p> <p>What do you do for your birthday? </p>
