Birthday Parties..

[julifish]

What about him and a few friends going to Laser Tag? Ours has an arcade in it too and it wouldn't be too pricey for only 3 kids.

Trampoline/jumping place? Ours is called Airheads and they have groupons for $10 for a 1 hour jump. For Ce, 1-2 friends it would be cheap! Get McD's on the way home.


We just did a 9th b-day party and my DD invited 3 friends and it was perfect and really cheap. We did a camping theme and I made the kids cook their own hotdogs for dinner. I hired my older DD to be the camp counselor, but you could hire a local teen you know to do the same $10 for the whole night and she played games, watched the movie with them...etc.

Does it snow where you live before Christmas? What about a sledding party with just a few kids and their families? Serve hot cocoa and cookies and you're done!

My DD has her birthday in Dec (the 9th). We always have her parties before Thanksgiving or the first Friday night in Dec because otherwise people are always busy. However, if you are only doing 2 friends maybe you can call the moms early and take them on a day when the parents could then do some Christmas shopping while you have their kid.

Is there something really cool that he wants to do that would be a huge treat? If you want no kids you could take him to do something special then have dinner out and do the cake there (take it with you if you want). That way he's not all cooped up in the house.

It's hard when they don't have a lot of friends but you have to try to cultivate those relationships when they find someone they click with...it's the only way they learn how the whole friend thing works (my yougest DD is this way!!!) Good luck.
