Thanks for your input Joey.   I knew you would understand.    Deb tries every year and every year it ends up with Deb, Mike, Ash, TJ, Nannie &amp; Poppy sitting around the table with funny hats on having a party.     Right now Deb is going through the &quot;why does Ashleigh get to have a big party and I don&#39;t&quot; stage with TJ which is why she came up with this idea.   She really has no plans to make it an annual event .  I really think this whole thing started when TJ started pre-school and began to get invited to lots of birthday parties.  <br /><br />I also have a brother-in-law and a niece with December 25th birthdays and a sister-in-law born on 12/19 but have always tried to seperate the 2 occasions for them.
