Our baby is three

 

This past Saturday we had the Best. Birthday. Party. Ever. It was perfect in every way. I have a zillion pictures so get comfortable!

We had our party at The Little Gym. It is a wonderful kids place that the kids can run and play on padded equipment and then some leaders do activities such as bubbles and music parades. All we had to do was bring cupcakes (thanks, Glenda!) and the birthday boy. No set up. No clean up. Perfect.

We got there a bit before the party started to get Will acclimated and comfortable with the place before his friends arrived. Isn’t he ridiculously handsome? I can’t believe my baby looks so grown up!

  

after that our friends started to arrive and have fun. I tried to get photos of all of the kids in action, but I think I missed a few.    : ( 

 

  

I was so happy my family made it down from MO to be with us! Uncle Steven showed off his impressive juggling skills:

Only MY mother would start a competition in the middle of a birthday party. She and Kyler’s dad were shooting baskets from a distance. Seriously. The woman lives for competition. Love her.

Everyone loves bubbles!

 

Birthdays are so exhausting!

Avery thought it was hilarious to throw herself down the wedge. It looks painful but she came up laughing every time!

       

The kids knew exactly what to do when they saw this big mat being rolled out. They can lay on it as it fills with air. Voila! It becomes a giant air trampoline.

Is there anything better than a group of adults doing the chicken dance?

Carter followed along perfectly!

I think this was the highlight of the party : )

All too soon the play time was done and we were ushered in for cupcakes and lemonade.

I did my best and got a photo of almost everyone at this point.

Cupcakes were a hit and so was the day. Fun doesn’t come close to describing it. A huge thank you to our families for their help. Also a massive "thank you" to Carrie for helping with Will's birthday shirt! We have had a magical three years and this was the perfect celebration.
