Turning 3 - The Party

It was a big weekend in our household... not only did a certain little guy turn 3, but he also had a party in his honor!

If you couldn't tell  - it was a Hot Wheels Themed Party.  It was either that or "spinners" and well a windmill themed party wouldn't be so easy to coordinate - so, yes I took the easy way out.

For a second year we attempted  to have it at the Park (last year it rained and we went with plan B at the house).  This year we had a minor panic attack when we realized Memorial Park was so renamed in honor of the 9/11 victims (one who was from our town).  Um, our party was planned on the 9th anniversary of the attacks.... YIKES.

Thankfully the memorials were moved a few cities up, so we lucked out with our park day.  Drew had a great time!!  And it seemed most everyone else did too - despite it being a little warm.

Singing Happy Birthday....

Despite the heat, it was an awesome day and Drew couldn't stop talking about it - he literally had dreams about it that night... we can tell because of his sleep talking.
