Our little fireball turned 3 on November 12th!!! We had a big backyardigans birthday blowout with a bouncy house, and had friends and family over to celebrate.
We only had one adult bouncy crasher (during the party)..... Katie got her workout for the day!!!
Porter was obsessed with his cake. During the party my mom caught him inside trying to pull at the box. We almost had a cake disaster....
He wanted cake, but he did not want anyone singing to him. He is very shy about that, and pouted while we sang.
His cake was specially designed by the wonderful Sugar Rush Bakery. It's theme is "Chichen Itza Pizza," which is a backyardigans episode that we have seen a time or two (hundred). The cake is regular vanilla, with caramel icing on the top layer, and cream cheese icing on the bottom layer. It. Was. Fabulous. And still is! Of course I ordered for more than we expected. ;)
We had a Pablo pull-string piñata. Swinging large sticks when little boys are involved is not the greatest idea. Because of a piñata experience at Sylvie's birthday party a couple of months ago, Porter is under the impression that most everything is filled with treats. Porter was convinced that the pumpkin that we carved for halloween was going to have candy on the inside when we cut it open. It is a wonderful idea that most things we stuffed with candy, but unfortunately he has been disappointed many times by reality.
And let me just say, while we are documenting this party, that I am 34 weeks pregnant, and feel every bit of it. I look huge!!! And apparently it has not gone unnoticed by almost everyone. And I'm so lucky to have such honest family members that tell me how big I am. ;)
Porter insisted that he did not have cake on his face.....
Mr Rudy and Mrs Jonelle (our neighbors) were able to celebrate with us. They are such wonderful people. We couldn't ask for better neighbors, and Porter adores them. He loves to go visit their house all the time.
Porter wanted to stop after opening the first gift and play with it. He didn't really have any concept of having multiple things to open (at least in his short memory), but he caught on very quickly. We are set on Cars and Hotwheels merchandise. But he has certainly enjoyed all of them.
Conversation before this pic: "Porter, if you say cheese I'll open that car for you."
Oh, and he still said he didn't have cake on his face.
Thanks so much to everyone that came out to celebrate Porter turning 3. He was truly surrounded by the people he enjoys and I know that was just as big a deal as any cake or gift he received. When we were talking about having a party, the people that were going to be in attendance was what he was most excited about. What a great day!!!
