On Sunday we hosted Zach’s third birthday party in our
yard. Well - due to “isolated
showers” we were
outside-inside-outside-inside-outside.
Everyone – young and old – had a great time and I just had to share some
photos with the highlights. I am so
happy that my daughter is a fan of the kind of birthday parties she always had
– at home with crafts, creative play activities, homemade cake and ice cream
sundaes. When it comes to children’s
birthday parties- I definitely lean to the old fashioned. This one was classic.
The party started with free play and a craft project. The boys enjoyed the craft – making crowns
with stick on foam sports items. Fran,
my daughter, had a bunch of small beach balls in a pool – no water - and the boys enjoyed playing with them and
each boy got to add one to his goody bag when he left.

Zach’s other grandma,
Doris, made this cake and cupcakes
|
The cake in the shape of a car is realistically iced with
windows, doors, wheels, etc and sporting the number 3 on the doors and
roof. It is set on a road bounded with
green grass. But wait there’s more. The tray is trimmed with cupcakes in cars wrappers
and each topped with a matchbox car that the guests can also add to their
goodie bags.

The cake was subject to detailed inspection and amazement. The bonus was that it was also edible – and delicious.
Although the cake looked great, Zach and his friends couldn't resist the cupcakes with the matchbox car sitting on top of the icing.

When things quieted down Zach finally opened his presents
and he liked them all. The presents included Candyland, a magnetic construction set more trash pack trashies,Bumblebee rescue bot,
books, and more.
What a wonderful way to launch your third year. And then grandma needed a nap.
