I don't think it is dumb at all...we did theme birthdays for my 2 older kids...teddy bear for my DS and ELMO for my DD...doesn't have to be but if that is what you want then go for it!!

It is a great milestone and memories should be made and preserved...they may not "remember" it like we do but there will be pics to share and it becomes a part of their make-up/ their history....okay that is my 2 cents (50 cents)
