[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 554722, member: 84"] Well, don't feel bad. I don't have any more babies either. I keep telling both girls we need another granddaughter but so far no one is pay any attention to me. LOL Now that Oliver is past his first birthday, Nichole is opting out of the huge family parties. Honestly.........with as many grandchildren as there are........and as big as the families are, it's a royal pain and not a cheap affair. I didn't do huge family affairs when the kids were young. I didn't even do but maybe one fancy party for each of them. The rest were just throw together parties with cake and the neighborhood kids over to eat and play some games. No decor or whatnot. They didn't even have to bring a gift. (which was good because in some of the neighborhoods the kids would not be able to) That's sort of what Nichole wants to do from here on out. The kids had a blast doing it that way. I dunno what easy child plans to do. Her in laws seem to still be caught up in this huge affair.......so she might keep at it. I didn't do it because all my family was much too far away and Fred's parents came to first bdays (which were special) but parties were just too much for them. So we celebrated at home, then we'd go to mother in law's and she'd get to give the kids her presents separate. My kids never thought a thing about it because it had always been done that way. I sort of hope easy child goes that route soon. I'm not a party person. I like it when they're little........but after say age 2, it's like how about you just bring them here and let me give them their gift? Know what I mean?? Doesn't help that I'm not that fond of any of her in laws either. [/QUOTE]
