On DH's side the thing is getting together and we tyoically make the birthday boy/girls favorite meal. And they do no work! However, when it gets to DH and my birthday somehow we end up still doing work. It's been grating at me lately so I've decided to stop expecting people to change. From now on I'm going to request we go out to celebrate my birthdays with his family. Not going to set myself up for disappointment!

I like to do something fun with my friends and have a few drinks! This year, we all did a British tea, which was awesome.
With DH, I just like a nice dinner with him.
His mom takes us out to happy hour for my birthday typically and has us over with his sister for his
All pretty low key
-
Family dinner at my mums and eat ice cream cake. I also did a paint and vino with two friends last year which was so fun.
-
We like to go out for dinner at a restaurant. When it's my birthday we go to dinner with my mom and for dh's birthday we go out for dinner with his parents.

I like to eat out with my dh and kids
and have cake at home

My parents have us over for dinner and get a giant cookie cake from Sams Club. DH's family usually take us out to eat. DH and I usually go out to eat to celebrate together, but nothing too fancy unless it's a big birthday.
-
Maybe dinner and dessert. Adult bdays are NBD for us.

@chopsuey: sounds like my style! I prefer low key birthdays.

My birthday is in the summer... Last year Dh, LO and i went to my favourite food truck for lunch, swimming at my friend's pool, then met my family at our cottage on the beach for supper, cake and a bonfire. It was positively blissful and I hope we do it again this year!
-
Just to eat something good that I normally won't! That's really about it...
-
@Charm54: That sounds so perfect!
I like to take off work if I can, get free Starbucks, mani/pedi, maybe do some shopping. We don't usually go out for dinner because my birthday is Valentine's day and restaurants are a pain! DH's bday is a few days later so we go out to celebrate then.
-
I'm spending a few hours alone at the salon tomorrow (haircut, pedicure) and we'll probably go out to dinner.
D was going to take my sky-diving (tomorrow is my 30th) but the baby on board changed those plans
-
Im not a big birthday person, tbh. I used to just go out drinking with my friends. I think this year a few of us are going to hang out at the beer garden, including j.
-
The only thing that I have wanted consistently on my birthday is an ice cream cake. This year is a big milestone birthday and I've asked my husband if we can go away for a few days, but given my choice of location, it makes sense to go two months later, around my husband's birthday. So ice cream cake at home it will be.
-
@hotchildinthecity: that is a great idea! My LO will be 10 weeks old on my birthday and my bestie is visiting with her 6 month old so a low key trip to the beer gardens if the weather is nice sounds perfect!
-
Just be with DH and LO(s)!
We used to always go camping and we might start that again.
For LO I like to give her a new experience every birthday (something she has never done).
-
I'm not at all into my birthday, so I keep things very low key. Last year I went to the cottage with my whole family for a weekend and it was perfect.

@looch: ice cream cake is the best!
