Hello, my name is Crystal. My family does not celebrate birthday's as big as we used to. Now that we are older we just have some family members over for some cake and ice cream and to open a few presents. When I was younger my friends & family would come over for a party and we would eat cake & ice cream and open presents.

         Hello, my name is LaToya. The average American family celebrates birthdays by having parties and giving gifts. If you're young, you might play games like pin the tail on the donkey. If you're older your friends might take you out and you just have fun and your family still gives you money and gifts.

         Hello, my name is Brittany. My family celebrate birthdays by having parties. On my 16th birthday I had a party with my older cousins. Gifts were given to me and I had alot of fun.

        Hello, my name is James. The average American family celebrate their birthdays by buying their children things. Like cars, clothes, and other little gifts. They even sometimes give their children cool parties. And for the other kids and the younger ones (age 1-4) they get cake and ice cream. So that is what we usually do with birthdays.
