spend a evening with him take a gift and call it a day

I agree with some of the others I think since you had previous plans you need to keep those. I'm not sure if your husband is going? If he is not going I would ask him if he could go to the party. If he can't, I would make sure the gift gets to the parents prior to the party. I'm sure they will understand. :):):)

Maybe next year you can get a heads up from family if they plan something or just make sure you do notplan to go somewhere that week. God have fun and do not worry about your grandson. Take care.

I have 16 grandchildren with #17 on the way. Despite my best intentions it is physically and financially impossible to attend everyone's birthday every year. Although I love them dearly, Gramma and Grampa do have a life and we do make plans that sometimes conflict with plans our children and grandchildren make. (one of them was born on our anniversary!) We do the best we can to make sure they all get phone calls, cards, gifts/money, and we try to do something with each one at least once a year....hopefully the parents will understand.

Send your regrets and plan a get together with grandson when you get back. Birthdays are a season, not a day ;-)
