Happy 3rd Birthday!!!
We had a fun small construction birthday party. All of us have been sick on and off for a few weeks, so we had an outside party. Sophie was very sick during this time, so she was quarantined to the house. The boys love all things truck, so picking this birthday theme was easy!
If I ever have to make a cake, a digger cake is the easiest one to make! :) Make it and dig it up! HA!
Building and using the wrecking ball with our friend Brooks!
Very exited about his Team Umizoomi video.
Papa and Nana gave them BIKES!
Shep loves to ride his bike!
STICKERS!
All the friends got hard hats when they entered the "Party Zone"
Daddy built them a sand box for their birthday. The love it! No more digging in mommy's flowers beds!
It was big enough for all their friends!
Love me handsome boy!
Daddy got in the construction spirit!
It was such a fun day!
