The saturday before Elijah's birthday we had a party for him at the house. He chose the theme: dinosaurs. It was the first time he had any say in his party and let me tell you, he was pretty specific. To the point where I hung up a birthday banner I made for him last year and he told me that wouldn't work because it didn't have dinosaurs on it. Oh yeah. So a couple hours before the party I was making dinosaur cutouts to use as decoration. I couldn't let down my birthday kid!
Birthday Boy
He loved his dinosaur hoodie! Ran around the yard pretending he was a dinosaur.
Mine and Adam's grandmothers.
Amazing women.
Dinosaur and #3 sugar cookies.
Let me add that Adam and I were up until almost midnight making the sweets for the party. The decorating got a wee bit sloppy towards the end.
Lemonade angel food cupcakes and funfetti cupcakes.
Elijah love lemonade. I mean LOVES it. So when I found a recipe for lemonade angel food cupcakes I thought I had really scored. Nope. Let him taste one and he didn't like it at all. Hence the addition of funfetti.
Chocolate cake balls. They were D.E.L.I.S.H. Yum.
I seriously love my chalkboard nook.
These would be the dinosaur cutouts that I was making right before the party.
The bug.

Elijah had such a good time with his friends and family & got LOADS of awesome gifts (which have come in very handy since we've been stuck in the house since his birthday... another post about that!)
Although it's crazy to think that Elijah is already three, in many ways this was the easiest birthday of his to process. He acts so grown up all the time that I actually have to stop and think, "wait a minute. He's ONLY three."
