We went to a movie (birthday child picking), out to eat (bday child chose), activity- anything from pro basketball game, concert etc.
Each of them get to chose a "dream" trip when they turn 16! This past year we spent a week Up North MI- hiking, waterfalls, beaches, scenic drives. This year we are going on a Disney Cruise and 2 days at Universal Studios. Next year we are going back to Disney for a Hawaii themed trip- Ohana, Discovery Cove, etc.
Otherwise, we keep them simple and just our little family! We all seem to like them better that way!

Oh wait, we still need to do our 40-year old trip that we said we were going to do for years. One of these years, right?!
