Owen had a blast celebrating his third birthday with family and friends! I was impressed by how willing he was to share his new toys with his friends and by how polite he was to everyone, he was even polite enough to wish Uncle Adam a happy birthday when he arrived even though Uncle Adam's birthday was last month!
We spent the morning in a scramble trying to get everything ready before guests arrived. Gavin was busy saturday morning and then it rained all afternoon so preparing the backyard for the party had to wait until sunday. The kids could sense the excitement and were so hyper and busy all morning, it made getting things ready even more difficult.
The theme of the birthday party was "sports" so Gavin spray painted a mini soccer field in the backyard. The grass grows really slowly in the backyard so I expect we will have the soccer field there for the rest of the summer! Luckily the weather co-operated and we had a great afternoon outdoors.
The kids decorated sun visors as a craft. Noah refused to put his on and I think Owen wore his for a few minutes. I had bought a few pink visors for some of our girl guests but wee cousin Kian thought he'd look good in pink. I'm guessing he doesn't see much pink in his day :) The little kids looked so cute working on their crafts. As expected Owen covered his sun visor with as many stickers as he could fit on it.
I baked Owen's birthday cake on friday and then spent the better part of the day saturday decorating it. I don't think you can tell but Owen had stuck his fingers into the side of the cake when I had my back turned for one second. I turned to see him licking the blue icing off his fingers and saying "I LOVE soccer ball cake!" I wasn't impressed that I had to try and fix the cake the best I could, but he didn't mean any harm and he was so pleased with his cake I couldn't really be mad for long.
I think eating cake is Owen's favourite part of any celebration. I'm sure he likes cake more than opening gifts.
Owen received many great gifts from his family and friends, he was spoiled again this year! Here he is posing with his Buzz and Woody interactive toys, a gift from Mommy, Daddy and Noah.
We couldn't have asked for a better day. Owen loves his family and friends and everyone came out to help him celebrate his special day! I just love seeing my boy so happy makes all of the planning and effort worth it. Owen turns three on July 31st and we are celebrating his birthday at his favourite place! Can't wait!
