WWYD for DS's 2nd birthday? I have a dilemma
For DS1's 2nd birthday I did something smaller at my house with family and a few friends and their kids. It was indoors because it was early April and the weather was still chilly. We did a big 1st birthday so I wanted something smaller and being indoors I had to limit guests.
Here is my dilemma  DS2 will be 2 in september so the weather is nicer and I can do it in my backyard. I will probably be inviting more friends and kids to his party than I did for DS1, primarily because we can have the party outside which means more room.
I am thinking of hiring Darlene Graham for DS2's party BUT I feel bad because I feel like I am doing more for DS2's 2nd birthday than I did for DS1's 2nd birthday.
I know it sounds stupid and everyone is probably  but this is how my crazy brain thinks I always try to make things fair. But I know DS1 isn't going to look back 20 years from now and think "mommy hired someone to sing at your birthday and not mine" 
So, do you think I'm nuts and should I hire her or keep it smaller to keep things fair?

Shes a musician. She does classes at Once Upon A Treetop and also does private parties. She sings some of the Laurie Berkner music and her own songs. She brings instruments for the kids, etc. A few people on he have had her or been to a party with her and raved about it.

I am totally an even Steven mom. I tried to do the same for each of them. Ryan came out 10 days early, Colin induced 10 days early
Both were EBF 15 months
Both got to go to Disney for their 1st birthdays.
That said, Colin is not getting a 2nd bday party and I don't feel bad about it (and I decided that before I decided to give him a sibling that month ). In retrospect, I don't think it was necessary for Ryan and can't see Colin getting much out of it.
Hire Darlene Graham and let them both enjoy it - it's for both of them and TJ will not be in therapy b/c Derek had Darlene Graham at his party and he didn't
ETS: Plus, being that you will likely have a third child, Derek will have his entire life to play middle child syndrome so give him something extra now while you can

And, I will be waiting to have my 3rd until after I see if you stay sane after yours

Do it! DS loved Darlene Graham.
Poor Logan won't even get a 2nd bday party...he's getting a little brother instead!

Here, here! Although I can't promise Colin a brother or sister - just an "it"

Oh don't let me be your gauge of sanity. Haven't I proved I'm not of right mind signing up for 3 in 3.5??

No idea who Darlene Graham is.
Just do what you want - they will not be comparing birthday parties 20 years from now, I promise you that
