Tyler's 3rd Birthday Party

What a day! We've been busy for the last few days, preparing the house and backyard, getting food and goodies ready all for a certain almost 3 year old. He's been excited, knowing it was coming and finally getting here today, seeing his friends, he was in heaven.

Fish and #3 cookies...

Jell-O Bars with fish floating in the middle...

Ready for the crowd...

We had an art table set up with wooden magnents to color and foam door hangers to decorate with stickers.

We set up a few areas with different water things and they had quite a good time.

Between water things, they would stop and snack on the Jell-O and goldfish, washing it down with the famous "Sizzly Lemonade."

Back out to play in the sprinkler...

Then it was time to blow out the candles and have some cookies.

We ended the party with the Nemo Pinata.

The breaking shot...

Candy!

After everyone left, we made some quick sandwiches and shipped the boys off with Grandpa. My MIL took my SIL and me out to see Julie & Julia for a bit of a quite girls afternoon. It was fabulous and just what I needed to whined down after such a busy few days. The boys had lunch by the river and then got to splash around some more before heading back in for a nap.

Once we were all home from our outings, we opened presents.

Favorite for the day was his new Mac Truck, he's been wanting one of these!

His actual Birthday is in less than 2 weeks, so we'll do it all again with family, dinner, cake and presents.

Here's a video of the party.
