For birthdays, we think it's fun to say, "Happy Day!" in a memorable, creative way.
Here are a few simple ways to do it:
A Birthday Pennant Banner
(even more sentimental if made by a dear friend - thanks, Anne!)
Another variation:
Remember these felted darlings that Lindy donated to the charity auction for Claire?
So charming.
Twine & Paper Garland
I whipped this little number up in about an hour the night before Henry's birthday this year. I was craft-hungry and you know I love to play in my paper collection...
Magazine cut-outs
Anne's b-day greeting for her lovie one year...
Ecclectic and upcycled :)

Cute banners guys.
I always make a cute crown out of scrap book paper, and tape a big number 5 or whatever year it is to their birthday chair at the kitchen table with balloons etc.
No birthday is complete without a pancake in the shape of a 3 or a 5 or whatever. :)
We always let the birthday kid choose the menu on their birthday...no holds barred!
Also, my sister started a fun tradition of sending her kids on a scavenger hunt for their gifts. The anticipation as they read the first clue is palpable--not just for the birthday kid, but for all the guests who join in the hunt!
