JT's 3rd Birthday!

     This weekend, we welcome a 3 year old into the Apedaile house! JT turned 3 on Saturday and we celebrated in Monster Truck style! I wasn't able to take as many pictures as I was playing hostess. Thanks to Sarah to snapping some shots during the party.

 JT loves anything Monster Trucks, so it was easy to decide what theme to have for his party.

 The girls did a great job making this and some of the other party signs.

We had several stations for the party. In addition to the stations, Lindsay also made balloon animals, hats, hearts, cars, and swords.

 The body shop- temporary tattoos

 The paint shop- coloring monster truck pages

 Refueling Station- drinks

 Monster munchies- lot of good grub to eat

 John did an awesome job of grilling up some hot dogs and chicken sausages

 Some of the spread we offered

     With the weather being wonderful, we had most of the party outside. Lots of playing by big and little boys.

 Chalk was a huge hit for the little ones.

 Then it was time for presents. This was the most chaotic time of the party. JT was amped up for the presents and his friends were equally excited.

 As you can imagine, most of the presents were cars and trucks- perfect for our little boy.

Time for CAKE!!!

 This cake was simply fantastic! We bought it from a local bakery- Sweet and Sassy. JT was so excited when we showed him the cake. I loved all the details on the cake- the powdered "dirt" on the cars/trucks, grass, trees, rocks, and road signs. It was delish as well!

 Make a wish!

 JT wanted to thank everyone for a smashing good time! He had a Monster of a birthday.

Love my 3 year old boy!
