Yep, we do a joint party and do a Kris Kringle type gift. We don't even draw names out of a hat any more, we all just buy a unisex present and sort it out on the day.

This year we're going to a playcentre so all catered for.

And you know what, DD is so young that I don't feel obliged to throw her a 'proper' 2nd birthday party. Maybe when she's older and has got the concept but now it would all be over her head. Having a joint birthday, though, makes me feel that I haven't ignored her birthday completely - obviously she'll get presents and made a bit of a fuss of on her actual birthday but I don't honestly think that a party would be for her so I won't have one.
