teagan's 3rd birthday!

for once i'm adding pictures just days after an event, rather than several months! =P teagan turned 3 on feb. 28th, but we waited a couple weeks for the party. and, last saturday, he finally got his big STAR WARS party!!! =D

^ after a lot of deliberatioin, teagan decided on a star wars theme. =)



^ "happy birthday you must have!"

^ these are from his actual birthday. he was sick, so i made sugar cookies for him instead of a cake. although, i'm not so sure they're any better for you. but i think they're easier on the stomach. =P

^ the night before the bday party, i burned my hand taking the cake out and dropped 1 of the 3 cake rounds. =( big bummer.

^ the 2 surviving layers and the "dead" one. it was going to be a checkerboard cake, but instead, it was looking like it'd be vertical stripes, since the "green, blue, green" layer for the center got destroyed. BUT... the 2 on the left here ended up being stuck to the pan anyways. ice cream cake to the rescue!!! =D

^ party day! i think we exceeded the weight limit on the play set that day. there were up to 10 kids on it at a time. =)

^ trevin playing with the neighbors

^ my little trayson! everyone else was holding him that day. kinda nice! ;-P

^ decorations

^ the birthday boy! he was running in circles in the backyard. don't ask why... we don't know. =)

^ pizza time! and, no, that's not his beer. haha! ;-P

^ trayson thinking, "where's my pizza?!"

^ pin the explosion on the space ship. i don't know where they come up with these games, but the kids like it. =)

^ pinata time! holding it with a crutch worked so well at trevin's party last year, it made a second appearance. this time, with shane holding it up! =)

^ candy flying everywhere! for how much these kids complain when asked to clean up their toys, they cleaned up that candy EXTREMELY fast! it was everywhere! and then it was gone!

^ the cake, take 2! thanks to DQ, i got a plain cake and all i had to do was decorate it. =)

^ trayson with bailey, chewing on balloon strings.

^ presents! =)

^ opening them turned into a group activity. i couldn't keep track of what was from who as everyone dug into everything!

^ i believe the sword and shield were from bailey.

^ and they were a big hit! =)
