Goody bags? Seriously? This all sounds overwhelming and I have yet to pass the first birthday…

They totally expect goody bags.
My kids start planning their parties the day after their birthday, FOR THE FOLLOWING YEAR. Heather and Whitney…. You only have one girl in your mix, can you imagine what my life is gonna be like in 20 years planning three weddings?!

Good call, Heather. Goody bags is definitely part of the American birthday formula.

I notice that kids expect GOODY BAGS. And will even shake me down for the stuff even if I’ve already provided a pinata.
