Ani, that's what we do...we have a combined party for both kids...
Of course, it was born out of necessity since my kids bdays are 3 weeks and 1 week before Christmas, and we have to fit in the holidays, a family party, and parties with their firstfamilies as well...
Michelle, I felt the same way about KG - I was very adamant that my kids would not go all day...in fact, I still feel the same way about it because they are just little guys...But like my mom said, both the boys have late birthdays so they are the oldest in their class, and had they been born just days earlier, they would have gone to SCHOOL a year earlier.
But with JD...well...I guess he's been babied for so long that we still treat him as such, and I acknowledge my part in that.
But I'm excited for school (I start tomorrow - YIKES), he's excited to eat lunch in the lunchroom, and AJ is excited that he'll be able to play on the playground with his little brother.
And my DH is excited that he'll be able to get some quiet during the day since he works midnights and trying to sleep with two loud, boisterous kids is next to impossible.
(And Michelle, my oldest is 7 1/2 and he has also made the move from superhero's to legos. Well, he still loves a hero, but I can see him slowly turning into a big boy. *sniff* )
ETA: I have no idea why there's a house in my title line...I must have hit something - haha
