anyone else have a child born on the 4th of july? What are u doing for 1st birthday?
My son was born last year on the 4th and I am american and my husband danish (was born in denmark) so this is a extra special occasion for us. Just wondering if other parents have children born on this day and what are you doing for birthday parties?
haha thanks for the sparkler advice cause i was gonna do it. Well we cant go to the states, we live in dk, but maybe when he is older we will and it will mean more. We are doing fireworks here even though its dark for only 30 minutes at nite around 2 am in scandinavia during the summer. we have his kids party during the day and then a big one for me of course cause we still celebrate american holidays. We will have water contests, hop land, slush ice machine,popcorn machine slide shows, maybe a character to dress up, and lots of food of course....his birthday is winnie the pooh.
I just wanted to hear other special things from people on that day...its so cool.
oh kristin w. Im so glad to hear that....makes me cry. I was wondering if when he grows up, and not being in the states, if he would understand what it means. I know i understand much more and appreciate who i am much more after living out of the country. I hope he takes pride in his culture on both sides and understands what our freedom stands for and what it meant to me and his dad for him to be born on that day....a week late at that.

If you go to West Point there is an amazing fireworks show (probably the best I've seen in my whole life) and that's always something fun for kids to experience.

Mine will be 22 on July 4th. For the longest time she thought the fireworks were for her. I don't have any special recommendations, but I have a warning...do not put sparklers on the cake. I did this one year and the ashes blew off all over the icing!

My neice is born on that day and my sister has a big party for her, but ot 100% red white and blue, she always keep the holiday seperate from her birthday so its more special for her. She does a theme thats something that my niece likes, and later does sparklers and fire works.
If you google "4th of july cakes" and click images, there is some really super cool ideas on there, you could print it off and take to a local baker and ask them to do it.

My next youngest cousin was born on the 4th of July. And I was born on the 17th of July in 1976 (Bicentennial baby). Our birthdays were always "patriotic" in nature. For my cousin's first birthday, my grandmother made a cake *a lot like this one http://www.fabulousfoods.com/recipes/dessert/cakes... * served on red, white, and blue plates. As we grew older, our birthdays included going to see a very nice fireworks display of our choice. For example, we lived in Columbus, Ohio. But, the parents took us to different cities (like Chicago, Washington D.C., New York) to see different displays. As I grew even older (I was 6 years older than my cousin), I spent more time in D.C. during my birthday. Being a true patriot seemed to mean more to me because of my connection to being a bicentennial child. So, I guess maybe my parents took it to extremes... but, as a younger child, it was mostly about being a family and celebrating that being free meant you could be together and enjoy being together. As I got older, it meant more about discovering what it meant to be an American and what it took to get there.
