3rd Birthday

I spent a little time this afternoon planning my son's 3rd birthday party. It is going to be pretty simple. It is just family for most of it. (just in case you're wondering why you didn't get the invitation shown above) We'll be doing several things that day with granny and grandpa, his cousin, and other family members. We'll save the dessert for when our small group comes over that evening. Our small group has become somewhat of an extended family to us, so we'll do the 2nd half of the celebration that evening. I'll make some individual cupcake cakes possibly done in red velvet mix. My son loves fruit with fruit dip so I'll prepare a fruit plate.

We're trying to do different kinds of gifts this year rather than more toys! That child has more toys than he can play with (reminder: Christmas was just a few weeks ago:) My parents are giving him/us a year long family membership to the Omaha zoo, which my son will love. We're still thinking about what we want to get him. I have a feeling we will probably skip giving him another toy (seeing as there are still toys from Christmas sitting there unused). I think we'll do something unique......I guess you'll have to wait to find out what....

We're off tomorrow for MLK day. So whether you're off for the day also, at work, at home with the kids, or doing your normal Monday routine, I hope everyone has a wonderful start to their week. Have a blessed day!
