Oh boy! Our big guy turned 3 last Saturday! How cool did he feel at his party next to Maria-Grace? So cool. He calls her his "girlfriend."
Brian made baseball cupcakes for the kids. BIG hit. I decided Root Beer floats and pizza made a yummy combo. Everyone stuffed their faces. The funniest part was when Cam fell under the table after he blew out his candles. We actually got it on video!
Grandma Gi-Gi, Papa Jeff, Uncle Justin and Cousin Grace had a great time. Gina left for Guatemala a few days later with World Vision.
Gifts were a blur. I don't even see Camden in this picture. The cards got stomped! Looks like Aiden and Taylor are having fun opening all the cars!
A rare shot of me at this shin dig. I was "behind the scenes".
Mr. Archer was a great host as well - talking it up with the guests and making sure they were entertained.
Many of our beautiful friends were in attendance. Here is the especially gorgeous Sarah Blondin! Did I mention she is a dentist? Brooklyn doesn't have any teeth yet. Just thought I would mention that since she is five months old now. This is very unusual for our kids! Taylor and Cam had a full set of teeth by this time.
Cam was slightly stunned that he fell under the table. Tough guy!
Pinata time was pretty funny to watch! Thanks to Grandma Nettie for finding a fire engine! Anderson was winning by a landslide. This almost was the most important part of the party - unless you count what happened next.
Daddy and the Uncles got a bit carried away this year! Where is the helmet, pads, protective armor, steel boots and training wheels??? No trips to the ER please!
I have to take a moment to mention of all the men at this toddler birthday party. They were there to watch Cam get his first dirt bike! I've never seen so many guys at a kid birthday. Thank you all for coming. Cam LOVES his bike. Did I mention that nobody told me this was going to happen?
WOW - I can't tell you how happy this moment was for your dad, Camden. He was riding at the ripe old age of two. This was a moment in history for father and son. I have to admit, it was pretty cool and I think all of the other kids had bike envy.
Cam also enjoyed several other gifts. "Cars" was a bit of a theme this year. We have a Lightening McQueen in every size. He LOVES that car you know.
Cam fell the day before his birthday but wanted to make a fashion statement with the band aid. What a trend setter.
He even got sympathy from the firemen driving by and they gave him gifts. No kidding!
At the end of a great birthday, the kids enjoyed acting out the days events while blowing out the birthday candles OVER and OVER again! It was so funny and I have never laughed so hard in my life. They were pretending to fall under the table and disappear just like Camden's stunt earlier that day.
Camden, I adore you. We all adore you. Such a character! Do me a favor and DRIVE SAFE!
Happy 3rd Birthday!
Love,
Mom
