George is 3!!!

This little wonder is such a big boy now!!  We were pleased as punch that his birthday fell on a Saturday and that this particular Saturday in January was 70 degrees.  It was a day to be celebrated for many reasons but mostly for our little Georgie Porge!!  We made some cinnamon rolls and put candles in his.  He loved having us sing to him and blowing them out so much, he excitedly requested that we repeat the whole process "again!!!"  We (including George) sang happy birthday probably 6 or 7 times until the candles couldn't take any more!!  

We had a great morning playing outside and going for a run in the stroller and then while George slept, we set up a mini carnival in the back yard for all his little buddies to enjoy later that afternoon.  George is in a playgroup, so we invited all his little friends and a few others from church to come celebrate three years of having George in the world!!

Now that our patio is FINALLY finished, we can host some pretty fun parties outside! 

Until George is old enough to just have his friends over (without parents and siblings) we will continue to get the HUGE Costco cake that can feed us all!! 

George was pretty baffled and surprised when he woke up to find balloons flying and all over his trampoline!! 

Dexter's mom was a whiz at making everyone balloon swords!! 

George was a pretty good host but occasionally he just wanted to do his own thing.  

He loved jumping with all his buddies and hitting the pinata!! 

He LOVED that we got to light more candles and sing Happy Birthday again!! 

He would rather eat his tootsie rolls and lolly pops from the pinata than eat his cake.  Whatever George!.  Mom will eat it for you!  

We wrapped up the party making s'mores.  Mostly the little kids just ate the marshmallows and chocolate.  No need for roasting. 

Other than the fact that I was 9 months pregnant, it was a pretty easy party to throw.  Everyone was so nice to come celebrate with us and bring little G some gifts.   

Uncle Curtis was in town for all the festivities and was not only kind enough to rake all the leaves in the backyard, but also made his famous Italian noodles for us after everyone went home.  It was delicious!!

Sadie and Jack helped George open all his presents and had their fair share of playing with them too.
