Hailie. The birthday girl.
Today we went to my niece Hailie’s 3rd birthday party. It was a lot of fun. The boys had a great time it was held at Air Zone, it is a children’s play center that has jumping castles and a ball pit. The Kids ran around like the crazy people they are and pigged out on food.

But being at a birthday party in December made me think of my own birthday as a kid. Being born in December is the worst. I know a lot of people complain about when their birthday is but December really does suck. If you try to have a party a lot of people don’t want to come for three reasons.
1. The weather can get nasty and so they don’t want to drive in it.
2. They don’t want to buy a gift. They are already spending enough on Christmas presents.
3. They have other places to be. Christmas parties, family get togethers.That sort of thing.

It always made it hard to really enjoy my birthday. I guess that’s why I liked the family parties the best. They had to show up and the food was better then the cheap pizza they give you at the kids party places.
So if you get invited to a December birthday party and dread going remember they can’t do anything about when they were born and please try to be nice. 🙂
