Our kids' birthdays are one month apart and turned 2 and 4 this year. Since they're so close in age, and young, and have all the same friends, we did a combined party for them. They chose a zebra theme (they're obsessed with the movie Racing Stripes and all things zebra). The color palate for the party was a muted black, bright yellow, and white.
