Andrew's 3rd Birthday!!

Our little Andrew turned THREE last week!
With planning for Japan, and then being gone until right before his birthday, I didn't do much prep work for this party.  I did the Happy Birthday sign the day before, but everything else I did the day of!  It was kind of a crazy thrown together party, but I was really happy with how it turned out!  (And thankful to copy others ideas online!)

He had two of his buddies come over for a birthday lunch and playdate.  The night of his birthday my family came over for hawaiian haystacks as a birthday/thank you for babysitting for two weeks party.  Some of Darin's side came and joined us for dessert.  It was a great night!

Happy birthday sweet Andrew!!

My 3 Favorite Kids!

I just love these three!!

We turned these three pictures into some cute valentines for family and friends.

(I'll try to remember to post those later).
But, for now, just enjoy these beautiful faces!

Funny Andrew

Andrew does this all the time!  But I finally caught it on video!

I seriously can't stop laughing!!

Our Lil' Monster Is TWO!!

We had a little Monster Birthday for Andrew yesterday.

I thought a "Monster Theme" fit him a little too well!!

It was a beautiful day, even though it had snowed only two days earlier!

Thanks to all the family for coming!

Here is the cake I made.  

I used a grass tip to frost it, melted chocolate chips for the pupils and mouth, and candy-melts for the teeth.

I was really happy with my carved watermelon I made! And Andrew loved it too!

Monster sandwiches

My cheeto monster.  (I used a pool noodle, toothpicks, and cheetos).

I love this guy--my friend Barbie painted him, and all the monsters you'll see in the last picture.

We ended with this little 30 second video of our monster.
