Old Fashioned Backyard Birthday Party

For years, kids birthday parties have been spiraling out of control and beyond the reach of many of our wallets. I, personally, cannot keep up with the Joneses on this one. With spoiled housewives on tv hosting lavish parties for kids, it's hard to sell a simple backyard party to your own child! Or is it?
We recently hosted a simple birthday party for our daughter, where we made our own pinata, played outdoor games and just let the kids be kids! We served pizza and lemonade, then let the kids make their own ice cream sundae with an assortment of toppings! The kids had a great time! We got so many compliments from parents who didn't realize that the simplicity of it all would go over so well! Next time you need to plan a birthday party for your child, maybe you will skip the huge hubbub of a party and think about the simpler and sweeter things!
