Caswell's 3rd Birthday!

We had a great birthday party at our house.  I made Caswell's invites and cake again this year.   He requested a dinosaur party so that is what he got.  We had lots of great food, family and a few friends, birthday bags and a piñata.  Caswell was so surprised when he walked into his house and saw the 4 foot tall dinosaur waiting for him.  That thing almost killed me - well actually Jeff wanted to kill me after he was the smart one to use his bike pump to blow it up.  Caswell of course scored lots of great presents.  The party was in the afternoon so the rest of the evening we spent playing with all of his new toys.  He is one lucky little boy.  I am not sure how he got to be 3 already though.

 The ABC Boys - Brandon, Caswell and Axel had the most fun jumping in Caswell's bed.  

 Happy Birthday Caswell - he blew out his candles several times.

The boys had so much fun swinging at the dino piñata.  It was a hoot watching them swing that bat with all their might.  It took an awful lot to break that thing open.

 He had lots of helps to help open presents.  Caswell knows how to rip right into them.  He was pretty conent with playing what he opened up so it took him quite a long time to open his other presents.  

 Caswell loved his fireman coat and accessories from Uncle Stevie.  

Can you spot Caswell anywhere?  I think the dino took over his bed.

After all of our guests left, Caswell enjoyed playing with all of his presents.  

The Switch N Go Dino from Auntie, Uncle and Cousin B is his favorite.  He sat and played with that on the kitchen counter for 45 minutes.  Here he is tuckered out with him but not letting him leave his side.  

 

Thanks to all for a wonderful 3rd birthday celebration.  

Como Zoo Boo

We ordered tickets on line to try this out this year.  It had been raining earlier but we still decided to head out and see what this was all about.  We took the shuttle over from the State Fair.  The shuttles are all wrapped like an animal.  It was a pretty slick way to get there and back.  Como Zoo was decorated and had tons of costumed characters throughout the park to see.  They gave out a few treats, had a fire truck to walk through, games and Radio Disney to dance with.  Caswell had a great time.  Caswell wore his dinosaur costume that Nana got him on clearance last year after Halloween.  He loved it all and made a pretty cute dino.

Happy 3rd Birthday to B!

I can not believe the boys are 3.   I found myself looking at cards for 2 year olds and had to stop and think no they are turning 3.  It is so true, they grow up so fast.  We had fun celebrating B's birthday a few days before his real birthday. We sang Happy Birthday a couple times as Auntie's camera was not working so she did not get video the 1st time.  We had yummy cake and ice cream and then B got to open up all his fun birthday gifts.

Happy 2nd birthday Addison!

Addison's mom puts together one heck of a party.  This year we were invited to Addison's Wonderland.  Even though it rained and the bounce houses were pretty wet, that did not stop the kids from playing, especially Caswell.  We changed clothes twice.  He played so hard that he was sawing logs by the time we got out of town.
