Alex's 3rd Birthday


I can't believe he is 3 years old. I can't believe how old I am for that matter. We did the usual party at the casa for Alex. I love having everyone I love in my house and I will continue to do that for his/our birthday until he gets old enough to realize that there just might be more exciting places for a kiddo to have a birthday party. This year I did a sort of vintage carnival theme, although I didn't do much with it!  The invite looks like ride tickets, the cupcakes were in red and white striped holders with fondant popcorn on top.  I also had some snacks in vintage carnival treat bags.  We served hot dogs and nachos because that is what you find at a carnival AND those are incredibly easy things to serve a large number of people!

Below are some pictures from the day.  We have had a crazy windy APril this year and hot days as well.  The one day this tapered off was Alex's party. It was still and cool and we could not have asked for more perfect weather.  

Most of you know that Alex and I have the same birthday.  We did the party for him and for my birthday, we are renting a cabin in Broken Bow, OK with some friends for a long weekend, so I am looking forward to that coming up in less than a week!
