Here are 12 fun birthday activities you can do annually for your children on their special day. I love, love, love a good family tradition. I think it helps bond family members as well as create memories that you’ll be laughing about at the Thanksgiving table when your kids are in their thirty’s.
So today, I’m featuring some birthday traditions that you can start in your own home.

Wow, what a great selection of ideas! I especially like the photo display centerpiece. I’m going to try this one out for the next birthday party I host. I like the idea of it being a life of memories where there is a photo for each year. Absolutely adorable!

I love these! My daughter’s birthday is January 2, so the tradition we decided to start was to keep the Christmas tree up until the day after her birthday. On the eve of her birthday, we decorate what is called her “birthday tree” with pictures of her throughout the year. (She is only one, so we’ve done this once). That way she doesn’t feel slighted by having a birthday so close to the holidays! I will post a sample pic at my blog.
My daughter every birthday is woken up with a giant balloon and a pile of birthday pancakes!
Love the donut idea.
