Come One, Come All!

We got to celebrate Jude's 3rd birthday again over the weekend with precious family and friends. We had a carnival party, complete with a caterpillar bounce house (Jude's special request) and some Mommy-made games.


We had lots of yummy carnival food and little carnival touches here and there.


The kids seemed to have fun playing the games over and over again. And the bounce house was, of course, so much fun.


One of my favorite moments was when all of the kids were down the hill playing and climbing trees while the bounce house sat empty. Nature wins!


It was a joy to have Pap Pap, Gramma Lil, and Aunt Ann in town to help us celebrate. We are so glad you came!! (And thank you for all of your last minute help, Ann!)


Time to sing "Happy Birthday!"


I think this was right about the time that the cake plate dipped, the cake slid off, and landed PLOP on the ground. Ahhhhh! Thankfully, it landed right-side-up and it was on a plate, so even though it looked a mess, we were able to salvage it and serve it. It tasted fine....minus the few bits of gravel here and there. Haha!


But even a dropped cake couldn't ruin the fun. It was a beautiful day, and we were surrounded by love. 


Jude loved every bit of it and was overheard declaring, "This is the best day EVER!!" while running and jumping into the bounce house. 


We couldn't ask for a better stamp of approval. Happy 3rd Birthday, Jude!
