Great ideas! I always mean to, but somehow end up shopping and planning a birthday party all at the same time. Next year?

I do fear they won’t want to share birthdays so close to each other when they get older. For now, it’s great!

My 3 oldest are November, December and January babies (what I thinking, right?) so, my youngest is all like…HAH!…I get to have a birthday all to myself Happy Thanksgiving, my friend!

We have a similar situation in our house…all of our birthdays fall between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It’s enough to make everyone feel completely exhausted by the time Christmas rolls around.

One thing I’ve started doing is making sure to complete all of my Christmas shopping during the month of November. That way, December can really be all about enjoying the holidays and spending quality time with the loved ones. Really helps to make it feel less crazy. Oh, and doing Christmas shopping online is a lifesaver, too!
