Happy Birthday!

About three weeks ago we celebrated Eddie's 3rd birthday!  I decided that this year we would invite a couple of his good friends over for a little party and we would have it the day before the big day to spread things out a little.  He requested a truck cake and after looking around online, I decided to just take him to our local bakery and let him pick out a cake. With our Vegas trip the weekend before, I knew that time would be precious, especially since I was bringing treats for his birthday to his school on that Friday. I'm learning to let certain things go in order to be able to enjoy the actual experience. Anyhow - I got some cute party favors for the kids and things were pretty well in order.

The week leading up to the big day was a bit crazy. Edith came down with a weird fever thing for a day, then Uncas was down for a couple of days after that with the fever and then sinus infection.  On the morning of I knew early on that we would have to cancel.  Eddie slept in until 9:30 and the only time he sleeps that late is because he is sick.  Sure enough - he got the fever thing and the party was canceled. Poor little guy was so sick that he didn't even realize it.  Fortunately family had sent some gifts, so he had plenty to open.  And that just meant more cake for all of us!

Here a few pictures of the big day:

Of course the birthday cookies need to be orange!
