Calvin's Birthday Party

For Cal's third birthday party, we invited his six closest friends. The plan was to have the party at a neighborhood park, because 6 friends = 20 people. But, it was a rainy day, so we all crammed into our house. It worked out well, though, and Cal had a blast!


We ordered these amazing cupcakes from a neighborhood bakery. If mine had tasted like poop, I would've still eaten it with a smile.






1. Sexy mama

2. Cal sang very loudly to himself. He has been waiting for this day for months.

3. And enjoyed the cupcake so much, he scraped the crumbs off of the table and licked his hand.



1. Matthew (Hannah's brother) just turned one, but held his own in the mess.
2. See Isaac playing the piano with Sammy and Mado?
3. The first half of the party, there were no balls in there. Once Eric added them, they couldn't get enough.








1. Cathe and Colin- Cathe's husband, Dave, works with Eric and is responsible for Eric getting his job at GMI. Yeah, Dave. When we moved here, Cathe introduced me to her playgroup. Yeah, Cathe!
2. Isaac was happy in his highchair for the first half hour as he ate ground turkey, cheese and grapes. Two helpings. Meatwad.
3. Chaos.








1, 2, 3. We had a magician! Eric won him in a raffle a year ago. He did a great job and really held the kids' attention. Cal and Molly were the only ones who continued to volunteer.



1. Opening presents- I have been really overwhelmed with all the toys lately. I feel like they have SOOO many and I don't know how to keep it under control. So, I was a little scared. But, Cal opened lots of different types of crafts (playdough, stickers, paint), some clothes, a puzzle, a book, a cd and a couple games. It was great! Thank you thank you, friends who read this! Awesome presents.
2. We got a Cal a ukelele. I had talked about getting him a little guitar and Sarah J. suggested the ukelele. Thanks, Sarah! He loves it. When he opened it, he said, "Where's the pick?"
3. This is the vest from Sammy. It's totally dope and reversible.
So, we had a great time. Cal cried when we said it was bedtime. He really didn't want this day to end.
PS How crazy that I have a 3-year-old! Does that mean I'm old?
