Adam's Birthday Party

It feels so good to sit down and relax.  This week has been fun, but busy.  We celebrated Adam's "for real" birthday on Tuesday, then we celebrated Valentines Day on Thursday, and today we had a little luncheon for my cousin's baby shower, and Adam's birthday party this afternoon.

Let's start with the day before Adam's birthday.  He took a treat to daycare since he wouldn't be there on Tuesday for his real birthday.  I made rice krispy treats.  He loves them and they're easy.  They made him a crown to wear at daycare and he had such a great day.  I know he felt special.

Tuesday morning, I had a balloon, card, and another crown waiting for the birthday boy.  He got to choose whatever he wanted for breakfast (pancakes, surprise surprise).  Then it was off to Finney and Papa's for the day.  That night Adam chose to go to Friendly's for his birthday dinner.

They put a candle in his icecream and all the workers sang to him.  It was funny!

 

When we got home he got to open his presents from Mike and I.  He got a bike helmet from Mike and I got him a Thomas the Train remote control toy that he was eyeing up during our trip to Wal Mart.  It was really hard for me to think of something to get him.  Christmas was less than two months ago, we have more than enough toys, and there's just nothing he needs right now.  He seemed perfectly happy which is all that matters.

Today we celebrated his birthday with a Snowman themed birthday party.  I have to admit I felt a little guilty only doing a family birthday party since Owen has been having a friend birthday party since he turned two.
 
However, when I asked Adam who he wanted to come to his party he named all family.  I didn't want him to feel short changed so I did a little more than I normally would for a family party.

At first he wanted a Cars theme, but I found some really cute things on Pinterest for a snowman party and he loves snowmen.  When I asked him if he wanted a snowman party instead he was all for it!  Thank goodness for Pinterest because I am not creative and would have never thought of these things on my own.

 Finney made three round cakes for me and I made it into a snowman (thanks to a few pictures on Pinterest).  Cake decorating is no piece of cake!

Owen helped make the favors- Hershey bars made into snowmen

Beatrice was such a trooper being passed around from person to person all night long.  She was teething and not feeling well, but you would have never known.

Eric and Beth finally got to meet Beatrice :)

We know our house is pretty small, but we don't really realize just how small it is until we try to get everyone in one room.

 After everyone left the boys enjoyed some more play time with Beth and Eric, but poor Eric was worn out!  I don't blame him!

 Adam had a wonderful 3rd birthday!
