ABC Birthday Party

Months ago Shane decided he wanted to have an "ABC" themed 3rd birthday party and of course I wanted my little man to be happy, so "ABC" birthday party is what we had. The weather was perfect yesterday, the sun decided to join us after almost of month of being away!! Mema came over on Thursday to help with preparations and she also turned out to be the special guest of the party. Every time someone would show up, Shane made sure to introduce them to "his Mema".

There was "ABC" coloring sheets and name bracelets/necklaces to make for all the little guests. A simple spread of "ABC" cut out PB&J sandwiches, ham and cheese sandwiches, fruit, veggies, pretzels and dip to snack on for all. Shane picked rainbow chip cupcakes to end the party off with. Many found themselves outside enjoying the water table, sand box and just running around in the sunshine.

There was a close call during the Happy Birthday song when Shane just wasn't sure that having all those people look at him and sing loudly was the best thing. He held back tears the whole time, but recovered nicely. At the end of the day he told he that next time he wants only one person to sing.

A big thank you to all of our friends and family that made Shane's 3rd birthday so very special.
