classymrsa my boys are about 3 weeks shy of three weeks apart. We will have one big family party and then do something special on each boy's actual birthday. I like flamingo's suggestion about combining the themes!

Thanks ladies! Lots of good suggestions. I think it'll work! I told my ILs to go ahead and just come out in Nov and we'll do a joint birthday.

+1 to shared parties - definitely at least a shared extended family event. Mine are 4 days apart, so will prob just take on something around Thanksgiving. Once they are older I doubt a boy/girl party will work with differing interests, but I will try to make it work for as long as possible.
My niece and nephew are a week apart around Halloween, so we will hopefully be able to make their celebration this year.

Huh, I would never think that flying over water would be worse than flying over anything else, yet here are 2 of you! I get motion sickness sometimes so that stresses me out with flying. But trust, it is worth it for what's on the other side. I agree. Flying over water is NBD to me. I have no problem flying over anything but I absolutely will not use the bathroom on an airplane. It's my worst fear that the plane will crash while I'm in there and my body will be found without pants. Apparently I'm vain even in death.

But I'm claustrophobic. Same reason I do not go in an elevator!

My sister does combined parties for my nieces classymrsa (they are 2 years apart). Each girl has their own cake, dexorated in their "theme" so they each still get to blow out candles and cut their cake. Iy hasn't been an issue yet and they just turned 7 and 9. They also do a small, family only, celebration on each girls actual birthday.
