Ryan's 3rd Birthday started with a surprise visit from Grama. On the day of his birthday, we met daddy at McDonald's for lunch where Ryan had a blast playing in the tunnels (despite learning some life lessons from an older boy. Ryan now knows what happens when you hit an older kid...) Later that night we had Ryan's birthday dinner of choice (homemade hamburgers) and then of course, we celebrated with cake, ice cream, and presents
The next day, daddy had a seminar in Portland, so Ryan, Caleb, Grama, and mommy spent the day at the Portland Children's Museum - What a great day!
On Saturday, Ryan had his first true birthday party. We held his party at a near park that has a fantastic playground/wood castle play structure. His theme was "Where the Wild Things Are" - beyond fitting for Ryan =). A few months ago, Johna and I had found these great "Where the Wild Things Are" party invitations - little did we know those are the ONLY things that exist for a birthday party with this theme. So, we got creative =)
Mommy's attempt at a Wild Thing Cake
After playing for a while and eating lunch, the kids gathered around for a reading of "Where the Wild Things Are". Afterwards, the kids had a great time decorating their own Wild Thing masks - Thanks Nana!!!
The party favors
What a great day! Despite Caleb being under the weather, we all had an amazing time celebrating our little man's 3rd birthday.
