So, our oldest turned three a couple weeks ago and we had the chance to celebrate with family on our May long weekend. Here are some pictures:

We usually order pizza or barbeque hamburgers, but we went for shish kabobs for something different. They were very good. My contribution was to prepare the rice with the help of Uncle Ben. I was laughing at how much rice I prepared. Perhaps a bit too much?

Here’s the birthday boy’s brother with his paternal grandparents:

The ‘gift’ that Zach was the most taken with was this Cars bag that was reused from Christmas. His gift from my parents was a tricycle but he found it a little too scary, so Patrick tried using it instead:

Here he is blowing out the candle on his cake with the help of some cousins:

I made some Bingo cards for a game and made some little trains out of candy (that I forgot to give out) but I see that the pictures I took must have been relegated to the recycle bin from my husband that organizes photos. Rest assured though that the Bingo cards were very cute. I used some phrases that Zach says often and if someone heard Zach say one of those phrases they could mark it off their sheet.

And on a very different note, I now have a facebook page for my card shop. so check it out if you haven’t already and ‘like’ me.

    Better start exercising your Birthday Party muscles for future parties where the guests are kids – friends of the birthday boy.

    Parties that all the grandparents attend are so quiet and staid in comparison.

    Lots of moms and dads stage these parties at a public venue so save wear and tear on their house……………
