The theme for my daughter's birthday was pink ombre, black and white stripes, and shapes. We held the party in our 1000 square foot apartment. I wanted to share this with your readers to show that it is possible to have a birthday in a small space!

We had a simple party with homemade cake and ice cream for Josie's second year. The weather is always a bit dreary at the end of February around here, so we focused on a party with bright reds, pinks and greens to brighten the house.

For starters, it's a really long dinner, replete with multiple courses, epic storytelling, songs, and a compulsory four glasses of wine for the grownups. When you add little kids to the mix it can be challenging. Here are a few tips for hosts expecting young seder guests. More
