Birthday party disappointments...

So, we're planning a small party to celebrate our kids birthdays.  Eban turned two on June 24th, Isaac will be 6 on the 25th and Liam will be 4 on the 30th.

Anyway, we decided to keep it small this year because we were having a deck built and didn't know when it would be finished.  So we only invited around 16 people.  Last week we found out 1 person can't make it.  Yesterday my brother tells me that he's probably not coming and today my dad tells me that he's probably not going to make it which means my step mom won't be here either.  My mom never comes to things so I'll be surprised if she actuallys hows.  

Anway, all these people are cancelling on us and the kids are getting a bit upset.  This happened to my oldest on his second birthday.  No one came to his party!  UGh...

Sorry, just had to whine a minute.

 Ugh, that sucks. Plan it anyways, invite a few of their friends instead of family. I'm sure the kids would have more fun anyways.

Ugh, it happens but it makes the kids feel horrible. Just invite their friends over and let them play! Good luck!

Thanks ladies!

If anyone else cancels I'll send the kids over to get the neighbors kids.  I'm sure they'd love to come by for cupcakes and water balloons!

Aww :( I hope it will end up a success. Sometimes people don't understand that it hurts the kids when they don't make the effort to be there for them. Hopefully they realize that and show up.
