Jayce's 3rd Birthday Party

Jayce's 3rd birthday party was my favorite ever I do believe! It's taken me 3 years but I finally have learned to ENJOY the party, rather than worrying about every little detail! I honestly think I had as much fun this year as Jayce did! The cowboy/western theme was probably my favorite which also helped! We had cupcakes... upon Jayce's request with a cute little cactus... strawberry, chocolate and vanilla, 3 flavors for our 3 year old! We had silverware wrapped in bandannas... and cowboy hats and bandannas for the kids for favors... we even had real live horses there for viewing... only b/c at the last minute it rained and we changed the location to the McLaughlin clubhouse, rather than doing it in our back yard in the rain... but it turned out to be perfect b/c the rain stopped and the kids got to go out and look at the horses! We had pizza, cupcakes and juiceboxes and I highly recommend this menu for bday parties! It is so easy!

The only thing I am sad about this year is that our happy birthday song was sung to Jayce without actually having his cupcake in front of him with his 3 year old candle... and Jay was out of the room trying to set up the pack n play for tired little Gabe... and I was trying to hurry up with the song, so we could get Gabe down before opening presents... I guess once you have 2, it's just harder to remember everything huh? Oh well, we had a blast and I made mimi go back and take a picture of Jayce pretending to blow out his candle while we were singing..

We LOVE our family and friends so much and so appreciate you all coming out in the pouring down rain to help us celebrate our little man's 3rd birthday! It was so much fun having you all there and it would not have been the special day it was without each of you! Thank you all so much for being such a big part of his special day!
