Clayton's 3rd Birthday

Clayton's actual birthday is on the 18th, but to save mommy's sanity from having to throw a party the week before Christmas, we have his party on the first weekend in December! This year's party was a shark theme.  Ever since shark week on discovery channel, he has been obsessed with sharks (see his Halloween costume in the post below). Having a shark party was actually easier to throw than I thought it would be.  Thanks to my new obsession, Pinterest, I found lots of great ideas to make the first birthday party at our new home successful!

Here is the shark cake I made

Since the Christmas decorations were already up, I wanted to make it look like a party for the little guy! Here is my "water" entryway into the cake room.  Jason made use of the extra moving boxes and made shark bean bag toss game that turned out super cute!!!

Here are a bunch of the boys digging for treasures

The birthday loot....I didn't need to buy for Christmas did I?

Happy 3rd birthday Clayton! You are becoming such a little man! You are talking up a storm by using sentences.  Your favorite one is "what you doing?" You are very inquisitive and want to know how everything works.  You sleep with an entourage of stuffed animals in bed, you LOVE cars, snuggling with mom, pushing your sister's buttons, making everyone laugh,singing Christmas songs, wrestling with the dogs, Scooby Doo, dinosaurs, playing and watching football and soccer, and driving your jeep in the backyard! You are an amazing eater and most meals we wonder where you are putting all your food (you get that from your daddy) Unlike your sister, you LOVE anything sweet and would rather dessert than your meal. We are so blessed to have you in our lives and we love you very much!!!

PS- as i type this you finished your 3rd day of potty training with no accidents! Way to go and keep it up!
