TMNT Birthdays!

There are so many questions about the turtle's birthdays.

~When do they celebrate?

When the turtle's were kids, they all celebrated together. It was one big party, a slice of cake for each turtle tot, and a handful of presents for them.

They loved this tradition and still do it, all getting together on the day they became a family. But each turtle got his own day too and he got to pick it.

Leonardo chose January 26, Donatello picked May 17, Mikey decided on October 30 , and Raph picked August 20.

Each turtle has his own reason of course.

Leonardo loves winter and the cold that comes with it. It's dangerous for him to love it too much (being cold blooded and all) so he enjoys it with a small, simple party. He picked the date just like that And then went about his business.

Donatello was a little bit more picky then his brothers, it was harder for him to decide on a date. Summer is too hot, winter is too cold, fall isn't much better either. But spring? Spring is just right. Perfect weather, the world comes alive, plus they occasionally go camping to celebrate his birthday!

Michelangelo picked October for one reason: Halloween. It's his second favorite holiday (the kid loves himself some Christmas cheer) and there are all sorts of parties going on during that day. When he was a kid, he liked to pretend that the parties were for him and that everyone in the world loved him enough to wear costumes and give out candy. But now that he's older?

Raphael loves summer. The heat can be too much for the turtle but he an actual reason to pick it (even though he claimed he just glanced at the calender). Raph has always wanted to go to the beach.

To feel the same between his toes, swim in the salty water. It's secretly a big dream of his.

He prefers to sneak out to a wicked party instead!

What kind of party do they want?

They don't need anything big really, even if they have secretly dreamed of it.

Leo wants a nice dinner with his family, vanilla cake and ice cream (his favorites, Mikey is so disgusted by this. "There are over a thousand flavors! Who picks vanilla bro??"), and a few gifts.

Donnie wants a little party, with something fall. When they were kids, they would have a pretend campout, stringing blankets around the Lair. But now, they can actually go camping where they have a picnic and a chocolate cake.

Mikey wants a big larty, inviting all the friends that could come. He's actually always wanted a big surprise party, where everybody runs out screaming "Happy Birthday!" He wants a big ice cream sundae, with everything on it, and a chocolate cake.

Raphael just wants to hang out with his brothers. No training, no missions, just them hanging out. Raph doesn't have much of a sweet tooth, he would rather have a birthday pizza!

What gifts would they get?

There are things they all like and would share with each other (movies, video games, and CD's. Leo and Donnie share books, Raph and Mikey share comics and rap albums) and things they want for themselves.

Leonardo wants books on Japanese culture and myths, along with poetry collections and philosophy books. Things to takes care of his bonsai trees, calligraphy sets, and ninja stuff.

Donatello wants books (about EVERYTHING. But mostly science, text books, and fiction novels), gadgets and gear, things to write with, and he's been dying for a new telescope.

Raphael wants movies (mostly horror and action stuff), comic books, action figures, and CD's. He likes workout stuff too, he shares a lot of his stuff with Mikey.

Michelangelo wants comics, video games, CD's and most off all? Art stuff. Paints, sketchbooks, pens and markers, color pencils, all of it.

What gifts do they give?

It was hard (and it still can be) to get gifts for each other, for years the turtle's never had anything new. They might ask you or April to get something for them or, if they can, go in disguise to get it themselves.

Leo and Raph will just ask the others what they want, Donnie already knows, but Mikey wants to surprise his brothers. He also enjoys getting them a joke gift (something stupid, like toy snakes that spring up at them or a box of colorful condems when they start dating) and a real gift.

They all do pretty well, but Mikey and Don do the best.

But, you might ask, what about your birthday? Two little words:

Pure panic.

The turtles haven't dated before and they are super afraid of screwing it up. Leo would put a lot of pressure on himself to do it perfectly, Raph would just panic on the inside but try to act cool about it, and both Donnie and Mikey would try to drop hints.

I can imagine them attempting to do something big and romantic only to fail miserably! But they still end up having a good time with you...
