Max's 3rd Birthday!

It's Finally Here! Max has been asking if it is his birthday since Adam's in September. It gets a little old. So is Max by the way. My baby is three already! Can you tell he was a little excited to get Toy Story stuff this year? He had a hard time deciding on a theme, so everything is a little too jumbled together for my ocd self, but what do you do when you've got that Adorable face looking at you and wanting dinosaurs with Thomas and Woody? Exactly...you have a very random party to make him happy.

And happy he is. We ran into an old neighbor of my mom's at the party store where we were getting plates and balloons for Max's party and she offered to buy him a happy birthday blinking button! He wore it with pride all day and would take off his coat to show every passerby. Although I have conquered the fondant, making hard Rice Krispie Treats is not one of my talents. I created this amazing cake out of super soft and yummy Rice Krispie Treats, but my strengths have become my dinosaur's downfall. Literally. Nothing I could do would make this dinosaur stay upright without completely unedible support. So for the first time in the history of kids birthday cakes....

I bought a cake. And he's still happy. Note to future self: avoid all the painstaking effort you go to to make them happy and feel special on their birthdays, and just buy a dang cake from Wal-Mart.After cake and icecream (another note to self: not a great idea when it's already freezing outside, maybe hot chocolate would be better?) everyone who wanted to headed to the Haunted Dinosaur Park. We did some trick-or-treating, had fun walking around the spooky place, and played until we were too cold to enjoy it anymore.

And then came the post-birthday crash. Couldn't even take off his button.

Happy birthday indeed!
