Hi Nabila, in my family birthdays are very simple, a cake, lunch or dinner and a lot of cheers!
Here are two pictures of my brothers � birthday (they are twins)

the cake and...

the candle...only one because all the candles would take the entire cake LOL
The room was decorated in a simple way: a banner and some balloons. We played "pass the parcel with their gifts inside!
That �s all. Sorry but there aren �t any children in my family.
I hope it will help.
Ciao.

Hi Nabila,

some German families still remember this wonderful (even though a bit time consuming) tradition: for the 18th birthday of their daughter or son, parents fill a big gift box with 18 little presents. Each of them represents one year of the child �s life: a pacifier, baby shoes, a photo of the first school day, a lipstick and so on. Some parents write a letter that accompanies every present ("When you were born...").

This present symbolizes that daughter or son are now adult and that the parents know they have to release their child. It is a wonderful present for the children but not really easy for parents, I admit.

Have a nice weekend!
