Celeberate your child's birthday every year in a unique way

My daughter is 4 years old. Nobody can forget her birthday, as she was born on December 31st. Every year we used to celeberate her birthday in a grand way. But I used to have a theme for her birthday every year.
I celeberated her 1st birthday in a very grand way in a birthday hall, where I invited all my friends and relatives. As she used to like mickey mouse a lot, I had a mickey mouse cake, caps, songs etc. I also gave mickey mouse cap as a gift to children. We served typical south Indian food. We could not conduct many games because of the crowd. We also gave 10 new dresses to our church kids and bought some play items for them.
I celeberated her second birthday in my house inviting her friends from our neighbourhood. This time I had ordered Noddy cake as she became a fan of Noddy. The kids in the neighbourhood conducted quiz competition, solving the riddle, finding the treasure games for elder kids and passing the ball game for smaller kids. I had ordered snacks and cool drinks for the kids.
Her 3rd birthday was very different and unforgettable. I celeberated her birthday in an orphanage, where we gave a small donation and distributed sweets to all the children. I also made my daughter to cut cake in the school, where she enjoyed with all her school friends. This time I got her a barbie cake, as she started watching barbie cds and barbie dolls.I gave playing with clay set for all the kids as a gift.
Recently I celeberated her 4th birthday. This time once again I celeberated with my family members . Instead of taking a hall, I celeberated in my house and I had arranged for our traditional food from caterers. We also donated money to our servants so that they could buy good clothes for their children.
I love to celeberate my daughter's birthday each year in unique way. But my main criteria is not just the celeberation but it should be a memorable one. So I encourage you to plan each year in a different way and enjoy with your friends, relatives, neighbourhood, orphanage, church etc.
