Have it together after the new year and have a theme party like winnie the pooh or tomas the tank engine goes well for boys, what do they like Ask them. Good luck and enjoy these years as much as possible.

I would do it the week or 2 after new years so people can get over Christmas. They are still young, so sharing a party will be ok, but when they get older they should have separate parties. I have 7 year old twins and have a similar situation. It seems a little unfair to share a birthday party even though they are twins. I want them to feel special about the day and not feel like it is something they necessarily have to share

If it is going to be all family I would have it together, If your older son wants friends from preschool then it would be better to have two parties. You could do the party on the 6th of Jan. its a saturday. That way its after all the holiday parties and thing are back on track. My son is three and he has not had a party on his actual b-day but I always give him a few presents and make a cake , this year I bought him cupcakes and put candles in them he liked it, he knew his party was going to be later on. I would ask your older son if he cares when they get older the get bothered by the younger brother or sister, If he doesnt care then plan from there.

I have a daughter who was born on Christmas day and my birthday is New Years Day. My daughter is grown now and is expecting her third child in January.
Anyway, what my husband and I did when she was really young was, we let her pick any day of the year to have a party where she could invite her friends. None of them could come on Christmas. But on her birthday itself, Christmas Day, there were always a present or two extra under the tree wrapped in different paper, Santa even left an extra for her wrapped up for her birthday in special birthday paper. Then after all the Christmas festivities, we would have a little family birthday party for her.
As she got a little older, we would throw a big birthday p[arty for her on New Years Eve where all of her friends could come and have a sleep over and their parents could go out without having to pay for a sitter. It was a duel party because my oldest daughter was born December 12th. We had a house full of kids and we served Sparkling Grape juice at midnight.
We would make all kinds of food that kids love to eat and everyone had a blast.
I'm not going to lie to you, it was a mess to clean up but we all always had a great time.

My oldest son's birthday is the 8th of Sep. and my youngest is on the 27th of Aug. A couple years ago i decided to have the party together so it could be bigger. Every year I spend a large amount on each party. After decorations, food, and different types of entertainment for the kids @ each party, I decided it could be one HUGE party. It ends up being a day they share celebrating their life's. They love it! Your boys are still young enough they don't know the difference anyways. As they get older and they decide that they don't like having it on the same day you can change it later on. After 3 years of having their party together my boys wouldn't have it any other way. Having a day of celebration leaves the date of the party open for convenience of your Friends and family. I always ask what days close friends and family have off then I try to coordinate those days with one that would be most convenient for everyone. As far as themes for the party, You can do cowboys and Indians. You can make feather hats and sheriff badges out of construction paper. You can buy little cowboy hats for goodie "bags" @ the party stores. You can staple rope to hold up table skirts. Just use your imagination!

Take them on a trip to Disney Land...but the best thing about having your birthday after Christmas is that everything goes on Sell...give them a party together untill they get 5 or 6

Lump their birthday parties together but make sure you celebrate it seperately from Christmas and New Year. I suggest before Christmas. After the New Year ordelas, you'll probably be too tired to throw another party.

The date doesn't matter too much...just pick a convenient one. I'd have their birthday's together...that way you can plan something bigger with more people all at once. That's what I did with mine...daughter's b-day on Jan. 14, son on Jan. 11th. I had them together on the same day (made them each a cake) and had relatives over. Now that they are much older (both teens) we celebrate them separately......
Everything worked out fine for us that way...no problems at all.
