I had some friends over, bought beer and chips and salsa, and ordered burgers and a cake. It was easy and small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-sos-last-birthday#post-1386821 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 07:24:34 +0000 doodlepoodle 1386821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rattles: that sounds awesome!! Seriously! </p> <p>I was working in a different city at the time so I ordered his favorite pizza and paid for it to be delivered. That weekend I made him brownies and we might have gone to a movie...? It's coming up in march and I really need to come up with something. We don't usually get gifts though, tight budget and he's a terrible gift buyer :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-sos-last-birthday#post-1386815 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 07:18:40 +0000 tigger223 1386815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took DH to a spy exhibit at the Franklin Institute, then we went to this hot dog place that has all of these crazy types of hot dogs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-sos-last-birthday#post-1386720 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 01:44:39 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1386720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the birthday he just had last month, I threw him a surprise party!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-sos-last-birthday#post-1386677 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 00:37:26 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1386677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ummm I think it must have been super low key last year because I don't remember!! </p> <p>His birthday is in March, not sure what we're doing?? My mom bought us tickets to the orchestra, maybe we'll go then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-sos-last-birthday#post-1386655 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 00:12:38 +0000 BoogieBea 1386655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got him a bunch of things from a cycling brand he's into. And I think I did a really short photoshoot with the kids and framed one of the photos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-sos-last-birthday#post-1386644 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 00:01:01 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1386644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to lunch. LO was three weeks old and that was about all I could handle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-sos-last-birthday#post-1386584 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 23:28:52 +0000 rattles 1386584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A birthday party at a local minor league ball game. He got to throw the first pitch (with DD and I on the field), had his name in lights and had the whole stadium sing to him during the 7th inning stretch. We all got "free" ball caps and he got an autographed ball and shirt as part of the package. I am absolutely positive it was a package designed for kids, not 30 yr olds. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-sos-last-birthday#post-1385887 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 19:31:04 +0000 swedishfish 1385887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tickets to a Giants game for his 30th this past year...hard to top that for this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-sos-last-birthday#post-1385827 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 19:15:25 +0000 hellocupcake 1385827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We spent the weekend in Ensenada, MX. It was fun and low key since we had LO :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-sos-last-birthday#post-1385823 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 19:14:46 +0000 Mae 1385823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He took the day off work and we went out to lunch at a local place he'd been dying to take me, then we went and picked up his childhood fav cake which he hadn't had in like a decade (Love Po. #9 ice cream cake from duncan donuts) and then I think we just went home and watched movies or something? I can't remember what I got him for his birthday but I'm sure we opened whatever that was haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-sos-last-birthday#post-1385810 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 19:12:40 +0000 Greentea 1385810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He brought home sushi takeout. My birthday is a few days prior and LO was two months and we went to the zoo and he made us amazing bacon blue cheeseburgers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-sos-last-birthday#post-1385802 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 19:09:17 +0000 petunia354 1385802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: Girl you are saint.

My DH's not big on celebrating his bday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-sos-last-birthday#post-1385716 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 18:45:53 +0000 BabyMats 1385716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to Maui for the weekend and stayed at the grand wailea...(Where they filmed "just go with it") </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-sos-last-birthday#post-1385630 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 18:13:52 +0000 Mommy Finger 1385630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had plans to go out for dinner 2 weeks before his birthday b/c our daycare did a date night once a month. Aaaaaaand I got the stomach flu. So we probably finally went out a month later. To be fair, he got sick on my birthday too. It was a bad year for birthdays in our house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-sos-last-birthday#post-1385607 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 18:01:12 +0000 AmandaB8 1385607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went and saw Wicked, along with a nice steak dinner. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-sos-last-birthday#post-1385547 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 17:35:00 +0000 HLK208 1385547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petunia354: haha! You're awesome! I did BIG things for each birthday before we were married but now I'm kind of burnt out!! I have two (soon to be three) other birthdays to plan each year too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-sos-last-birthday#post-1385529 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 17:28:36 +0000 HLK208 1385529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: hahaha! Dang it, I should have just bought those football game tickets, huh? It would have made my life easier ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-sos-last-birthday#post-1385524 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 17:26:14 +0000 LuLu Mom 1385524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last year we went to a football game the week before so that was his present (it was out of state.) On his actual birthday we went out to eat at a Brazillian steakhouse &amp; I got him a small gift. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-sos-last-birthday#post-1385502 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 17:18:03 +0000 bookwormmama 1385502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We actually were laying on a beach in the Dominican Republic! It just happened that we took a trip over his birthday...actually he didn't realize his birthday would fall during the trip when we first booked it, haha! It was our last pre-kids hurrah...we got pregnant the next month!</p> <p>I think I gave him a Nintendo 3DS to play during the trip. But his parents helped pay for that gift since it's a lot more than we usually spend on birthday gifts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-sos-last-birthday#post-1385473 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 17:11:13 +0000 petunia354 1385473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No gifts for us! We like to go out for dinner or have more of an "experience" than give gifts if that makes sense. My best gift to him was a night in NYC, we had dinner at a ninja themed restaurant (YUP, I deserve a medal) and just hung around the city for a weekend! Every birthday since has been a huge let down lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-sos-last-birthday#post-1385469 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 17:09:55 +0000 Smurfette 1385469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: we aren't this year. Years past I do running stuff, skiing stuff, or anything left from his Christmas list. What about and IOU for a Seahawks Super bowl Champs shirt. Postive thinking for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-sos-last-birthday#post-1385461 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 17:08:07 +0000 heartonastring 1385461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD was six weeks old and I, in a moment of postpartum insanity, thought it would be a good idea to invite his entire (big) family over for a party. This basically led to DH doing all the work to cook, clean etc., as I was so busy constantly nursing the baby. I felt kind of terrible about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-sos-last-birthday#post-1385456 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 17:07:04 +0000 HLK208 1385456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone give gifts? Any idea I come up with, he's "meh" about! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-sos-last-birthday#post-1385427 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 17:02:13 +0000 Smurfette 1385427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is tomorrow! So R is going to make him a card. I am going to make him a cake. I have never made it before but it is his favorite so wish me luck. He won't be home till like 11 so we will celebrate in Friday. Grilling steaks since that is his favorite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-sos-last-birthday#post-1385405 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 16:58:12 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1385405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a little party with cake and sweets, just family and some cousins too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-sos-last-birthday#post-1385401 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 16:57:37 +0000 HLK208 1385401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: so fun!!!</p> <p>Okay, fancy steakhouse is a must...I have no energy lately to cook. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-for-your-sos-last-birthday#post-1385398 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 16:57:05 +0000 Running Elley 1385398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I seriously am having trouble remembering....</p> <p>Ummm. Oh! We went to Disneyland for both of our birthdays combined. On his actually birthday day j made his favorite dinner and dessert. </p>
