My families' traditions sound pretty similar to yours, insofar as the birthday kid got to make food and party selections (of course with approval by the mother ... nothing ridiculous!). My parents generally ended up with the help of children for several hours that day with their special project; my mother always loves hours and hours of yardwork on her birthday, and although it's one of my least favorite things to do (dirt under my fingernails! bugs! dry skin!), I have tried to faithfully volunteer, even after moving out ... Sometimes I think for parents and adults, just a little time and help with something they enjoy but don't get to do nearly often enough is just the thing. Great post!
